  6. After they have signed in, the students can view assignments, ask questions, blog with the teacher or classmates What can our students do?

  7. Examples • http://www.edmodo.com • http://www.edmodo.com/public/mzmathmaniac/mhsgeometry

  8. Rules & Guidelines • All posts must pertain to the content of the class and not have any inappropriate or negative language. • If this expectation is not met, students will be removed from the site indefinitely.

  9. Rules & Guidelines • Students are encouraged to post interesting findings, questions, etc. to the group, use the site to check on work missed when absent, ask questions about assignments, and respond to the teacher’s postings, each other’s postings, etc • Abusing this privilege will result in dismissal upon first offense.

  10. Rules & Guidelines • Students are expected to keep group codes confidential and not share with other classes or schools. • Anyone who joins the group without teacher’s permission will be permanently removed without explanation.

  11. Parental Involvement • Parent permission is required before students will be given a code. • Parents can get notifications via email and through text messages of what is posted in the group. • Parents can use the public page to keep up with important information for their child’s class.

  12. Administration Involvement • Administration has a teacher account for each group and access to my teacher account so that they can easily view what is posted and monitor what their students are seeing. • Administration can get notifications sent to their email accounts and cell phones in order to be able to see what is posted in the group even when away from computers.

  13. RECAP • Students must have a group code to sign up. • A student email address is not required to sign up. • To post a note, type in the post bubble. • You can send files to multiple groups. • You reply to a post by clicking on the reply link below a post.

  14. RECAP • You can make icons for delete, edit, and pop-out appear by moving your mouse over the top right corner of a post. • Teachers can delete teacher and student posts. • Students can delete only their posts. • The pop out icon opens a new window for that post.

  15. RECAP • Students cannot make a post public. • Tags allow you to easily organize and find information that you feel is important. • Tags are not visible to the group. • To change your settings, click the “Settings” link in the upper right corner. • Only teachers can make postings public.

  16. RECAP • In Settings, you can change your photo, personal info, password, and notifications. • You can get Edmodo notifications through Twitter, text messages, and email. • The whole world cannot see what you post on Edmodo.

  17. Closing Thoughts I would like to use Edmodo as an educational tool that will engage students and increase grades. I will post notes from class and links to outside resources such as videos and enrichment websites to enhance learning among my students. Students will benefit from the added resources but also from gaining experience with social networking and microblogging. This new technology is the future of business. Allowing our students to explore this valuable tool will prepare our students for an ever-growing global economy
