EDMODO INFORMATION
6th GradeTeam "Diamonds in the Rough" will be using Edmodo this school year in place of teacher websites. Students have received information regarding Edmodo account set up instructions. If you have any further questions, please contact the team teachers. Below are instructions on to how to use Edmodo as a student and parent.
Edmodo
Account Set Up Directions—STUDENT
**A student account must be set up BEFORE a parent account can be created.
1. Visit www.edmodo.com and select “I’m A Student”.
2. Complete the registration form that appears on the screen:
· Enter the group code for your class or team (group codes are on the back of this sheet)
o If you have multiple codes, it does not matter which one you chose to put first, you can join other groups once you are signed up for an account.
· Enter a username (this is what you will use to log into Edmodo)
· Choose a password that you will not forget
o Your teacher can NOT see your password
o Do NOT give your password to other students; you are responsible for what is posted under your name.
· If you have an e-mail address, enter it. If you do not have an e-mail address, skip this step.
· Enter your first and last name.
o If you go by a nick name instead of your legal first name, put the nick name
§ For example, if your name is William Smith, but you like to be called Billy Smith, put Billy in the first name box.
3. Join other groups:
· On the left side of the screen you will see a space for your picture with your name under it; below this is an area that says “latest posts”. The next thing (down the screen) is where you join other groups.
· Click on the word join.
· Enter the group (class) code for each class you want to join.
