Edmodo
App and Web
|
Edmodo is simple to use and very user friendly. You will need to set up an account (see your tech administrator for your school’s group code), create classes, and have your students sign up using each class’s unique group code, prior to using Edmodo effectively.
Once your classes are created, you will have a fantastic, engaging way to communicate with students, assign homework/extra credit, and give practice test and quizzes. Each assignment is user created and customizable to fit your classrooms personality! You will need to explore the site and find out what applications work best for your students. A big plus: you can collaborate with other teachers at your school, in the district or state-to-state! |
