Presenters: Anne Carchedi, Sacred Heart Roslindale
Edmodo is a "secure, social learning platform for teachers, students, schools and districts. We provide a safe and easy way for your class to connect and collaborate, share content and access homework, grades and school notices. Our goal is to help educators harness the power of social media to customize the classroom for each and every learner" (Edmodo, 2013).
Before a student can create an Edmodo account, they will need a 6-digit group code from their teacher. Once they have their group code, they can visit Edmodo.com and select the “I’m a student” button. From here they can enter the group code provided by their teacher, complete the registration form and select “Sign up.' It is important to note that students are not required to enter an email address to create an Edmodo account. |
