Abstract
This research investigated the interactions that occurred in Edmodo’s environment, when this was used for supplemental, distance learning in Primary Education. Twenty three students of the fourth grade, all living in a residential area of Attica, together with their class teacher, participated in the survey. The research data were collected following a systematic record and study of interaction events in Edmodo’s environment. The results showed various interactions between teacher and students as well as among students in Edmodo’s environment. The main feature of these interactions is that the students played an active role through a series of initiatives such as to post and comment views, share resources etc. The conclusions of this research mainly underline the need for an in-depth study of the effect of these interactions in both the social and cognitive domains.
