Edmodo is a learning management system designed for students and teachers, enabling a social network-like interaction within educational settings. Teachers can create and manage classes, assign work, and communicate with students, while students can join classes using codes, view assignments, grades, and access a shared library. Key features include a calendar, gradebook, and customizable home screen, but some drawbacks include potential challenges in communication and initial usability perception.

2. What
is…
?
• Edmodo is a Learning Management System (LMS) for students and teachers.
• Think of it as a “Social Network” for your school
• The entire school can participate.
• Students use a code given by the teacher to add that class to their Edmodo
account.
• The more teachers in a school use it the more helpful it is to the students.

• Teacher accounts allow the user to
create and manage classes and post
assignments and discussions
• Student accounts allow the user to
join classes using a teacher provided
code and respond to assignments and
discussions

4. Teacher vs. Student
A teacher may create multiple
classes. The teacher will give
the students a “class code” in
order for them to join that
class.
When the student enters
the code they will
automatically be added
to the class associated
with that code.
Students can join multiple
classes as long as they
have the code for them.

7. Classes
Teachers have full
control over their
classes. They can
add, remove and
contact students
through their
group dashboard.
Teachers can also
create “small
groups” when the
class is broken up
for class projects,
allowing the
groups to share
resources with
each other.

assignments to
classes, complete

necessary links or
attachments.
Once submitted the
teacher can
instantly grade and
comment on the
material.
