EDMODO AT A GLANCE
Edmodo at a glance
LET'S GO BACKSTAGE FIRST...
Create a Teacher Account
- Go to www.roundrockisd.edmodo.com and click on "I'm a Teacher."
- Fill in the required information and click on "Sign up."
- You will be asked for a school code -- please email rrisdedmodo@roundrockisd.org for that information.
- You will receive a series of emails from Edmodo with tips for getting started.
Look here for some excellent rollout resources from Edmodo.
Create a Group
- When you create a group, a code is generated. Your students will have to enter your group code in order to join your group.
- DO NOT post these publicly! Anyone who has this code can join your group - ANYONE. Only share these codes with your STUDENTS!
- Don't forget to LOCK THE CODES when all of your students have joined.
- Set up notifications so you are alerted when people join your group and post comments. BE IN CHARGE!
Invite your Students
- Your students will also go to www.roundrockisd.edmodo.com to sign up, but they will click on "I'm a Student."
- They must enter the code that was generated when you created the group.
- The first activity we suggest that students complete is to create an avatar for their profile - NEVER let students use their actual picture OR their last name! Avatar websites Manga.com, Clay Yourself, and Voki are great to use.
Invite Your Parents
- Edmodo will generate a parent code, as well, so parents can see what is going on in their child's Edmodo account.
- Here is the Edmodo permission slip for parents to sign and return.
- Here is the Edmodo parent login tutorial that you can modify.
Post an Assignment
- Click on the Assignment tab and enter the requested assignment information (title, description, due date...).
- You can also add attachments (links and files) to supplement your assignment.
- When your assignment is complete, you must "send" it to the group.
- Students will get a post in their Edmodo account that they have a new assignment.
- They will complete the task you have assigned and "Turn in" their work when they are finished.
Grade an Assignment
- When a student turns in an assignment, you will receive an alert in your notifications panel.
- You can review the student's assignment, make a comment and send it back to them, or give them a grade.
Create and Grade Quizzes
- Edmodo also allows you to create quizzes and grade them directly in Edmodo.
- You can add multiple choice, true/false, short answer or fill-in-the-blank questions. You can also set a dute date and time limit for the quiz.
- Students receive an alert when there's a new quiz just like they get with an assignment.
- When they submit the quiz, you can elect to have them see their grade immediately and they can even go back and review the questions they missed.
- You can access all grades to assignments and quizzes in your gradebook.
