Parents, Meet Edmodo (Part 2)

As I prepare for the upcoming "Curriculum Night" at my school, I created this printable page to hand out to parents. I will write their child's name and their parent code on top and hand them out at Curriculum Night. This will help me know who has come in that night as well. I will also share with them their child's Class Dojo information, but that is another story!

Parents, Meet Edmodo!

Are you preparing for an upcoming parent's night? I am! This year, almost all homework assignments will be completed on Edmodo! I am greatly decreasing the amount of paper use AND students have already been communicating with me from home as they complete assignments. Edmodo is simply amazing an amazing resource for teachers and learners! What a perfect way to create an interactive online presence!!!

So, wondering how to introduce your students' parents to Edmodo when they come in for Open House or Curriculum Night? Well, why not check out these three videos! There may be one that "clicks" with you! If not, then you could always give parents a tour of your Edmodo group for their children's class! Have some content ready to show off and share with them your favorite aspects of Edmodo and how you think it will increase learning!

Good luck!!!

Now go forth and be a great Edmodian!  :)

Creating and Sharing Edmodo Folders with Groups


The video above is how to create and share an Edmodo folder with your Edmodo groups. You will also learn how to share your folders with the public. The video is from the older version of Edmodo, however, the steps are still the same. The layout just may look different.

The video below shows similar skills, but in the new Edmodo:



I hope that you will consider creating and sharing your folders within your student and your teacher groups!!!!

Is there anything that is not clear? Any questions?

Gratitude to Excellent Edmodians

I'd like to take a moment to thank last year's team of Edmodians who volunteered their precious time to help me manage the Spanish Teacher Share join requests. They have spent endless hours helping to create and implement a system to secure our teacher group and to promptly address teachers requests to join. Here's me and my 2012-2013 team:

Thank you! ¡Gracias! You are truly amazing! I could not have done it without you! 

I am currently looking for additional team members for the 2013-2014 school year. Please contact me via Edmodo or EdmodoSTS@gmail.com if you'd be interested in volunteering for this year! Thanks!
