Plan: Having discussed and shared the experienced
Edmodo has given the positive side with regard to the checking words, sentence, and grammar since it
provides students with social learning environment in which everyone can give comments or correction on
the mistakes made by the students. And it is therefore makes students aware of making words, sentence, and
grammar mistake.
3. Write and express idea both freely and easily on
Edmodo: One of the benefits of using Edmodo for writing activity was students have more opportunity to
express idea since they can access Edmodo anytime and anywhere. But with regard to this aspect, there are
some students who did not agree with this notion. This thing can be seen from the question number 40
indicating that 40 of the students did not agree to say that they can express themself easily when using
Edmodo. But overall, from the rest of the question, it can be sum up that in majority students are able to
express their idea both freely and easily on Edmodo.
4. Be more creative when writing on Edmodo: This
notion was used to know whether the utilization of Edmodo for writing activity makes students become
more creative in writing. The result can be seen from the questions number 11 and 29. From both numbers,
it can be found that 9, 38 of the students strongly agree to say that they can be more creative when
writing on my Edmodo than on paper. While 37, 50 of the students agree. And the rest of the students 37,
50 disagree while 15, 63 strongly disagree to the notion saying that using Edmodo makes them become
more creative in writing. Thus, it can be concluded that related to the notion of making students be more
creative, the utilization of Edmodo micro-blogging did not support this learning aspect.
5. Fell more confident: As the problems found in the
preliminary study that most of the students feel anxious when they were writing especially writing in
English, so this notion came up. From the questions
number 12, it can be found that 18, 75 of the students strongly disagree to say that they feel more
confident with their writing ability when writing on Edmodo than on paper, while 34, 38 of the students
said agree. Meanwhile, 40, 63 of the students disagree and 6, 25 of the students strongly disagree
to say that Using Edmodo for writing activity makes them feel more confident.
6. Write longer when writing on Edmodo than on paper:
As can be taken from the preliminary research indicating that most of the students use their gadgets
for writing, this notion came up to check whether or not students feel more motivated to use tool of writing
than use paper. The result can be seen from the questions number 13 resulting that 15, 63 of the
students strongly agree to feel that they can write longer when writing on my Edmodo than on paper
while 34, 38 of the students agree. Meanwhile, 43, 75 of the students disagree and 6, 25 of the
students strongly disagree. It is therefore can be concludes that more than 50 of the students agree
and 49 of the students disagree with the notion saying that they can write longer when writing on
Edmodo than on paper.
7. Comments are useful in improving writing ability:
Since Edmodo has feature in which students can give comments to each others, this can be very useful for
them to learn from the comments as they can reflect and improve their writing based on the comment or
feedback given by the readers. The result can be seen from the questions number 15 and 28. From both
questions it can be found that 87, 50 of the students agree to say that they like to read the comments from
friends and teachers on Edmodo because they are useful for improving writing ability. And more than
68 of the students agree that they like to have their friend give comments on Edmodo.
8. Edmodo improves writing skill: Although this present
study did not focus on stude nt‟s improvement in
writing, but this notion being considerable to be used for the next study. That is way, regarding to this
notion, the writer made only one question. And from the result, it can found that 12, 50 of the students
strongly agree to say that they have improved their writing skills since they began to use Edmodo, and 53,
15 of the students agree. Meanwhile, 28, 13 of the students disagree and 6, 25 strongly disagree. From
the result, it can be concluded that Edmodo micro
blogging has potential benefit for improving student‟s writing skill. And it is therefore, a further study
related to its implementation for writing activity seems to be worthwhile.
9. Group discussion on Edmodo helps students improve
their writing: Group discussion on Edmodo had been intentionally created by the researcher to provide
students such an autonomous learning environment in which they can share and learn something related to
the topic given. There are ten questions for this variable, and from the questionnaire result it can be
found that in majority students agree that group discussion on Edmodo help them improve their
writing. It can be seen from the question number 22 indicating that 68, 75 of the students agree to say
that the discussion on Edmodo helped them improve their writing, meanwhile 31, 25 of the students show
their disagreement.
