How to set up Edmodo
Edmodo is our primary tool for communication in 6th grade. One of the best features of Edmodo is that your homepage provides a “feed” for each class, which you are a member of. This means that any time a teacher posts some information to your class – it automatically posts on your homepage. Teachers will use Edmodo to post homework assignments, resources, reminders, messages, or general information. You may also use Edmodo to communicate with your teacher.
