Dear Parents,
This year we will be using Edmodo in reading. Edmodo is a free and secure learning network for teachers, students, and schools. It provides a safe way for teachers and students to connect, share content, access homework, participate in discussions, manage due dates, and receive class information.
Edmodo is accessible online and through any mobile device with Internet capabilities – including free apps for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. Students can access their account from any mobile device or computer, and set up notifications within Edmodo to receive alerts/reminders via text or e-mail.
Edmodo will not be used as a social network like Facebook or MySpace. This tool will be used strictly for educational purposes using the following guidelines:
& Students will be required to use appropriate grammar instead of texting lingo.
& Edmodo does not allow private student-to-student messaging. The site will be used to discuss school related content only and the teacher will monitor all Edmodo activity.
& No put-downs or sarcasm toward another's ideas. All school rules and policies toward harassment apply.
& Students who violate the above may face disciplinary action and/or may lose the privilege of using Edmodo.
You can also sign up for a parent account that is linked to your student account, and will help keep you informed of due dates, assignments, grades, school events, important resources, and any direct communication between your child and me
I look forward to a great year as we incorporate the use of technology into our classroom curriculum. If you have any questions, please contact me!
Thank you!
