Edmodo How-To
Adding students to your class:
·
Create
your account. Make
note of the group code that is on the right side of the screen. Give your students that code. Your students then need to go to the website
or use the iPad app. The students will
need to give their name and create a username and password. Then they will need to type in the group code
you gave them. Now they are part of your
class.
Once all of your students have joined the
group, click on the drop down arrow next to the code and lock the
code. This way, others will not be
able to join the group. When you
need to add a new student, just unlock the code and give the student the
new code.

·
Create
a note. Type a note to
your class on the home page. All students
will be able to see the note once you send it to your class. By typing a note, students can reply to the
note and all the students in the class will be able to take part in an online
discussion, sharing thoughts and ideas.
·
Create
an assignment. When
you create an assignment, the teacher will be the only one to view the
students’ responses. As the students
turn in their assignment, the teacher will be able to grade it and make a
commit.
Once the assignment has been sent to the class, the
teacher can see how many students have turned in the assignment. The teacher will click on the “turned in”
button to view and grade the students’ responses. Once it has been graded, the students will be
able to view their grade once they are logged into Edmodo again.
·
Upload
a file. When a teacher
uploads a file, the student can read the document on Edmodo instead of a paper
copy. To begin, type the instructions in
a note. Then click on file to browse
your computer for the file that needs to be uploaded. Then send it to your class.
·
Attach
a link. Teachers
can attach a website link into Edmodo.
This make for a quick access to a website especially if the URL is
long. Click inside the note and type the
instructions for the website. Then click
on “link”. Type the URL or copy/paste it
from the website in the pop up box. The
link will attach, then just send it to your class.
·
Create
a quiz. Create a quiz to
assess your students. Type or copy/paste
your questions and answers and select the correct answer if using multiple
choice or true/false. Quizzes can be
multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank or short answer. If a multiple choice or true/false quiz is
created, Edmodo will grade it for you.
Once you have created a quiz, add it to your library. The next time you want to use the quiz, it
will be ready for you.
·
Create
a poll. Easily
create a poll for your students. This
can be a great classroom building activity to have your students get know each
other or a way to get your students opinions on topics.
