Edmodo is a social learning platform that allows teachers to create free accounts to connect with students and share educational resources. To create an account, a teacher goes to www.edmodo.com and signs up using their email address. They then select their school from a list or create a new school community. The teacher can customize their profile, join existing communities of interest, create and manage groups for classes, share notes, assignments, files and links with students, and get support within the Edmodo platform.
