Parent EngagementEdmodo is essential to keeping my students’ parents informed and engaged.
During back to school night, I pass out Parent Codes, demonstrate how to create a Parent Account,and pass out the Parent Sign Up Guide. I also show them what they can see on a Parent Account
and how to set up text notifications.
Then, I can Alert them of project due dates, share documents with them, and more.
Power of the Teacher NetworkThe Communities and Discover tool have helped me connect with other High School
teachers across the globe, opening my eyes to new ideas and resources. I’ve also joinedTeacher Groups such as High School English and 21st Century Educators to collaborate with
other similar teachers, and even created my own Teacher Group for other teachers in my district!
Interactive AppsMy students love learning through the various multimedia tools available in Edmodo Apps.
Using the App Toolbar to discover new educational apps has really increased my students’ engagementand learning. Some of my favorites include Gamestar Mechanic, Speakado (Foreign Language Apps)
and Pixton Comic Maker, but there is something to be found for every classroom in the Edmodo Store.
Learn about other high school teachers who have found success with Apps on Edmodo.
Running My ClassroomFrom formative assessment to research papers, I use Edmodo to manage
all the activities that take place in my classroom, and:
These success stories highlight how other high school teachers have successfully utilized Edmodo.
• Create standards-aligned formative assessments with Snapshot and use its real-time Reports to personalize learning

• Store my syllabus, videos, and other files in my Library and Folders
• Share progress with students and parents through the Gradebook
• Organize study groups and group projects by creating Small Groups
“Snapshot is an amazing tool. I can use it throughout the year to gauge my students’ mastery of the standards. The program simply shows whetherthe student needs help, and the truth of the matter is, that’s all I need to know.”
