Free Technology for Teachers: How to Add Free Apps to Your Edmodo Group

Edmodo-"Facebook" for the Classroom

So if you have been to any technology conferences lately, you have probably heard of Edmodo.  Edmodo is a social website that more than 30,000,000 students and teachers use to connect, communicate, and collaborate.  Classes/groups can be formed, polls and quizzes can be created and assigned, Web 2.0 projects can be submitted via Edmodo, and the list goes on and on.

A while back I created a Glog with a short video on how to create assignments in Edmodo.  I have also included links to Edmodo's help page and to the main page.

Here is a handout I created for starting up an Edmodo Account.

This is a one page colorful handout on the features of an Edmodo page.

Edmodo for Literature Circles

I am a big fan of Edmodo and use it as a LMS (Learning Management System) in my classroom.  I found this Prezi by Shana Benedict that directly ties using Edmodo for Literature Circles to the Common Core Standards.  You can meet so many objectives by doing this.  Check it out :)
