Also...the possibility to hand in digital media (audio and/or video) would be great. Hi there, I agree with the portfolio option – fabulous idea!

We have loved using Edmodo since April last year. I use it mainly to give instructions to classes whenever I have had to go away (conferences, outings, etc.) I have even communicated with classes using m.edmodo.com (the mobile site) to see how they were doing. We also subscribe to ClassMarker and let that issue usernames. We then use that username for Rafi.ki and Rafi.ki Kidogo and will be using it for Edmodo, too, in future. Hence, pupils have less to remember. A super posting and one with which I wholly concur. We have loved using Edmodo since April last year.

Pupils were very positive in the main - though I am amazed at how many computers develop problems when a deadline is due. Then I felt guilty so didn't go that route with my new classes - hoping to force myself to learn how to use our school VLE. I haven't done so and the training we've had so far hasn't shown me how to do for myself what is possible in Edmodo. Think I will be introducing my classes to good old ED very soon.

I have set up groups for each of my classes (6th grade science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics). Since I am also a class sponsor, Student Council sponsor and one act play director I have set up groups for each of them as well. It has proven a great way to communicate with all of my students. We are in a very small school and most of the students are involved in multiple activities. Between absences for extracurricular activities and the occasional illness it has been difficult for students to get caught up after an absence. So far this has helped my students keep up with assignments. They love being able to do work online and not having to keep up with papers.

I also want to put in my thanks for your post on using Edmodo as I heard about it and signed up but then felt quite lost as to what to do next (other than pick a different picture....). So will reread your post and do some more exploring with the hopes I can make this work for some classes at the MS level this year. I, too, would like to find out more about the student sign up end.

Edmodo is one of the websites suggested by my school and it seemed intriguing but I really wanted to know more about how it works. (Really, Edmodo might want to consider putting some more information about the what and how on their main site. I know quite a few teachers who came to the site and gave up because they couldn't figure it out.) Your descriptions absolutely helped me to figure out if and how I could use this.

Not US History but rather US History D Block) the group became viable and appeared in the column for groups. Try this if you are still stuck.

I signed up for Edmodo today. I was able to send a note. Then, I tried to create a group, after I filled out the first screen, naming the group, I was back on my page. The group I tried to set up wasn't listed. I tried refreshing, I tried recreating the group. I checked my email in case there was a code sent there. Edmodo sounds really great, but I have to say that it is not a very intuitive site. I will email questions to support to try to learn how it's done! I feel like I must be missing something here.
