This document discusses various ways that teachers can use Edmodo, a learning management system, to engage students and facilitate teaching and learning. It provides examples of how teachers can use features like Google Docs, discussions, assignments, quizzes, polls, notifications and calendars. Overall, it promotes Edmodo as a tool for teachers to share content, provide feedback, track assessments, and encourage collaboration both in and outside the classroom.

track important dates
(assignments are automatically
added to student calenders).

14. Teachers can reward student
effort and achievements with
badges (create mini

your students).

15. Tag posts, and create different
groups to manage all your classes

thanks to the built in search bar).

in class, so if a student is absent
they can stay on top of work”,
