Creating an Edmodo Account!

Hello Everyone!

            This week has been very busy, but I wanted to make sure you all were able to learn how to create your own Edmodo account! The process in itself is only four steps, very easy and can be done within five minutes or less depending on how much information you put onto the site. I have outlines the steps below, however I must first discuss the importance of how to keep your online information safe with this site. As I had mentioned before this site is created to allow students and teacher only interact with one another within a single "group" called a classroom. Even though you as a teacher creates the group for only your students, I would suggest that both you and your students only put information that is required to create the account. This website tool is useful in many ways to help reach, and teach students outside of the classroom setting, and can utilize all of those functions without the requirement of important information.

            Now back to the fun stuff, below are the steps with pictures on how to create your own Edmodo account!

Step one: Go online to  www.edmodo.com. Once you are there begin your account creations by adding your email and password under a "Teacher" not student account. Then click on the "Sign Up for Free" button.

Step two: Find the school that you are teaching in! If it is unavailable, add it to their lists with the link at the bottom right hand side. Then click on "Next Step" button.

  

Step three: Provide your title, first and last name followed by the grade and content that you teach. You can even add a customized URL or add a picture at the bottom of this page, but it is not required. Then click on "Next Step" button.

  

Step four: Make sure all of the information is correct on the page and click on the "go to My Homepage" button on the bottom right hand side.

You will be taken to your homepage where you will then be able to explore the numerous possibilities! Next week I will discuss one of these tools that Edmodo offers. 

In the meantime, feel free to play around on your newly created site!

Cheers,

Alex
