The purpose of this study is to reveal pre-service mathematics teachers’ views about the use of Edmodo social networking site in Mathematics Curriculum class. For this purpose, Edmodo platform was used in the spring semester of 2017-2018 academic year. 42 pre-service mathematics teachers (F=22, M=20) used the platform and were asked for their views about this experience. A case study was used in this study. Based on the descriptive analysis results, pre-service teachers think that Edmodo provides accessibility and ease of communication, increases interest and class participation. It helps creating a positive class atmosphere, makes class fun, provides technology experience in education and helpful with feedback. They recommend Edmodo should be used in other classes as well.
