Setting up your classes.
• You have several options for your classes.
• You can set up one large class for all of
your students.
• If you teach multiple periods, you can
create a class for each period.

the classes.

left pane.

up your grade level(s) and subject

Parental Permission
• Since Edmodo has a social aspect, I make
sure to ask for parental permission.
• By doing this, you give the parents a choice
whether to allow their child to participate.
• I accomplish this by sending home a few
forms at the beginning of the year.
