Edmodo information for everybody














This is a social platform that is very useful for education. This is very interesting because it permits the communication between teachers and students. It allows teachers hanging materials, access to the tasks and after those discuses about them.






If we compare Edmodo with the rest of social networks, we can notice that it has more privacy. Edmodo provides a way for teachers and students to share notes, links, and files.






There are two important features: the first one is that students don’t need an email address to join the classroom. What they really need is the special sign-up code that the teacher gives when they create the environment. They will need to remember their username/password, but you can look their usernames up and can reset their passwords whenever you want. Another feature is that you can give codes to parents so that they can see the communication between you and their child.






 If a student has already joined another class on Edmodo then they can just log in as usual with their new class assigned to their login. Teachers can create as many groups as they want. You can separate your classes, subjects, or even create new groups within your classes for projects so that only the people in the groups can communicate with each other.







Teachers have the ability to send alerts to students like events and assignments. They have the option to post any item to a public time line if they so choose, and there is also a handy calendar that keeps everyone informed about upcoming exams and other events and special occasions. Edmodo also offers an option to have activity text messaged or emailed to you.




There is an essential part. It is about  how to create a quiz for our students
teachers have to click on "quiz"at the top of their home screem and then selesct "create a quiz" here we have some options in order to add questions, selest the correct answer, and choosing the question type, as you are creating quizess, you can notice that automatically they are saved.
