To set off on your trek:
1. Create a teacher account. Available online, iOS, Android,

students, and parents.
2. Identify your school. Every explorer has a home base. Tell us
where yours is located and find other adventurers like you!
3. Complete your profile. Upload a photo, share your backstory,
and begin your journey with our global community.

you can also sign up with these credentials.

Create Online Groups.
Bring your classroom on your journey:
1. Click Create a Group in the Groups column on your
Edmodo homepage.
2. Enter a Group name, grade level, and subject area.
3. Repeat for as many Groups as you’d like; there’s no limit to
the learning on Edmodo.
Groups are a great way to get your classroom connected and
increase sharing, engagement, participation, and self-expression—
all in a private, closed setting.
7. Invite Group Members.
Students and parents can join your adventure:
Group Code
A unique, six-character code that automatically adds students to
its respective Group. Codes lock in 14 days (but can still be used
as a join request) to make sure the members of your expedition
are up for the challenge.
Join URL
A one-of-a-kind web address that gives you complete control over
which students get added to a Group. URLs never change and
allow you to moderate and approve individual requests to join.
Parent Code
A unique code that links parents to a particular student to give
them visibility into what’s happening in the classroom. Parent
accounts help make sure whatever you teach during the day gets
reinforced at night.
Whichever way you decide to recruit, you can use each method
to help students sign up for Edmodo, have students join from an
existing account, or invite families to download the Edmodo for
Parents app for iPhone or Android.

8. The Climber
It takes a team to climb a mountain. You’ve
established base camp and the gang is
ready to summit the next technology
hurdle. Not only do you have the right gear
to scale, but you and your fellow climbers
have learned to share and communicate.
With Edmodo’s tools for collaboration,
your team is ready to reach new heights.

9. Connect with other explorers on
Edmodo Topics.
Explore topics that are relevant to you:
Ask our global community for help finding resources
for your lessons.
Instead of searching for lesson material, in, say, the Math
Community, you can use Topics to locate information about
a particular sub-subject, such as Algebra.
Answer questions and contribute your expertise.
Did you experience a “win” during a unit or discover a discipline-
related tip? You can share this information in a Topic and ensure
that your post reaches peers with similar interests.
Follow topics (or create your own!) on things that matter
most to you.
You can explore all the Topics on Edmodo by selecting “Show all”
in the Topics column on the left-side panel of your homepage.

13. Equip teachers with flexible tools that
facilitate technology integration.
Edmodo Management
Thanks to bulk account creation and group rostering capabilities,
as well as network wide communication features, administrators
can easily facilitate technology integration. Advanced analytics for
both Snapshot and general Edmodo usage provide daily insight
into Edmodo activity at the granular and macro level. All of this is
delivered in a secure, branded environment.
Edmodo PD Tools
With Edmodo’s PD Tools, admins incentivize collaboration,
enhance teaching practices, and inspire teachers to build and
share their strengths. Instant PLCs offer a scalable way to place
teachers in Groups, while the Group Directory provides a self-serve
approach to professional development. Admins can celebrate and
reward accomplishments in the classroom and beyond with
Teacher Badges.
