Transcript How to create a student edmodo account

Creating & Using a Teacher Account
Serena McKinney – IUSD-2013
Step 1: Go to
www.edmodo.com
Step 2: Select I’m a teacher
on the Edmodo homepage
under the sign up section.
Step 3: Enter the school code
so you can be added to an
IUSD Edmodo account. Your
school code is:__________.
If you don’t have your code
contact your site TAC.
Step 4: Enter a username
and password email is
optional, but nice if you’d
like to receive notifications
when students post. Title,
first and last name are
required. Agree to Terms of
Service.
Step 5: Click Sign Up!
Step 5: Now you should see the groups and communities you are a part of on the
left menu bar. You can edit your account with a picture if you like under the Me
drop down menu and Settings on the top right.
Step 6: Select the plus sign under Other Groups and
choose Join or Create on the left if you would like to
create a group for your class. Just like you did with
Blackboard. For example: Language Arts 7.
Step 7: You will see a collection of posts from fellow
SV teachers, students, and any connections to other
people you have on your wall.
Step 8: Develop a group
name, select a grade
level/range and subject area
and click Create.
Step 9: Choose the selected
group size and describe it.
Select Finish.
If you want to set it so that
every post is approved by
you first, select Advanced
Options and click the
appropriation setting.
Step 10: Now you will see a
group code in the center of
your profile. This code is
what you give to your
students to allow them
access to the group. Every
code is different, please
don’t use the code on this
training. Be sure to lock your
group after all of your
students have joined your
class, but if you forget it will
automatically lock in 14 days
to prevent student mis-use.
Step 11: After joining, the
students will have a code
generate for them to give to
the parents.
Options & Use
Here is where you will see notifications about a
post a student made either direct to your group
page, or in reply to another student. To change
notifications and how you receive them go to
Account Settings at the top right.
The library automatically collects all of your
uploaded documents , videos, or PowerPoint's. This
would be the “Course Documents” of Edmodo.
Once in the library you can create folders to
organize your documents, and can sort by either
uploading them to posts, or straight to the library.
You can even link your GoogleDrive.
Create and add students
to small groups within a
group for projects or
differentiation.
Here you can organize what you see on your wall. By
clicking on what posts you see, it will organize and limit
your view. This is helpful if you want to see what your
students have posted directly to you, or overall. This
helps to monitor what they write if you didn’t select at
the beginning to limit student posts.
To write a reminder like you would have
an announcement on Blackboard, click
Note to post. You can also attach a file,
link, or link to something already in the
library. Select who to send it to if you
have separate groups. You can also send it
to parents, once they sign up. An alert is
140 characters only as a quick reminder.
To only upload an assignment, click
Assignment and load it. You can set the
due date here, and it will save in the
calendar. Keep track of their progress
hereat the top menu bar.
To have students take a quiz on here
you can create one.
When I started my Edmodo group, I
had the students take a poll if they
liked Edmodo better than Blackbaord.
It does a live update as students
answer, showing a bar graph for the
answers.

The planner feature is great for
what’s ahead and helping your
students stay organized. Just click the
plus sign, enter the information, and
choose the group to notify. Notice
that you can have a week or month
view. This is a great feature to help
model to your students proper time
management and planning ahead.
When you give an assignment from
the tab in the group, it will be
automatically put in this calendar.
Share with all your groups
at once, or select a
calendar to add an event
for one group only. By
clicking on the gear, you
can even print or export the
calendar for that group.
Build your professional learning
network, or find and share some
ideas, curriculum, or questions from
the Discover tool. Connect with
communities that support topics in
education in which you are
interested, or follow publishers for
the latest and greatest information.
Once you follow a community you
will see easy access to it from your
homepage under your Communities
section. Teaching about something
specific soon, search content easily or
