Edmodo

Thank you for all your patience with me getting students set up on Edmodo. This is going to be an amazing educational tool for the students. We will use Edmodo in class and occasionally at home. 

I know there was confusion about log in information, but we have successfully logged every students in. If you would like to change the settings so you do not get "e-mail bombed" when we are active on Edmodo here are directions on how to do that. 

1. Once the student is logged in, in the top right corner click the "Me" Account drop down button

2. On the left hand side go to "Email & Text Updates"

4. I suggest only checking the "Alerts" Notes" and "Direct Messages" options and leaving the rest blank. A student/parent does not need to see the other options unless you'd like to. But this may result in you getting MANY emails as students reply during an activity. 

5. Click "Save Updates" at the bottom 

If you'd like to be able to have your own log in to see what your child's activity is, here are the directions for using the Parent Code. I will send these home early next week with your child 8/19 or 8/20. 

1. Visit www.edmodo.com and select the “I'm a Parent” button, just below the student and teacher sign up buttons.
2. Fill out the registration form with the unique parent code, the relationship with the child and a valid email address.
3. Select the “Sign Up” button to complete the sign up process.

Note: Once the parent has created the Parent Account, the parent is automatically observing any Group that the child is part of in his/her Account. A Parent Account allows you to see a limited view of your child's activity. Any Group the child adds in the future will be added to the Parent Account as well.
