Edmodo: Creating Quizzes and More

Edmodo is a free online learning platform to connect you with your students. With Edmodo, you can give assignments and quizzes, take quick classroom polls, send out notifications to students, monitor student progress, build a library of resources for students, interact with other teachers, assign collaborative work, get feedback from students online and more.

On this page, I will give a quick overview of how to get started on Edmodo, explain a few of its features, and provide detailed instructions for creating and scoring a quiz.

This page can also be accessed on my digital learning hub.

Getting Started

To sign up for Edmodo, simply go to the sign-in page and complete the requested information. Remember, Edmodo is free.

Basic Features

Once you have an account and log in, you will see your Home Page. On the Home Page, you can see all of the types of activities you can create with the tabs at the top of the page.

Groups

Creating groups (classes) is easily done by clicking on the plus symbol. You then just need to share the group code with your students, give them the class link, and have them join your class. A class list will be created as students join; you do not have to enter student names!

Polls

One useful feature is the Poll. You can ask your students a question and get quick results.

Assignments

You can easily create assignments on Edmodo. Assignments are given due dates and can be automatically recorded in the Edmodo gradebook. Edmodo keeps track of student progress. You can quickly see which students have completed assignments.

Assignments can include links to websites, documents, videos and more.

Collaboration

Your class can create a collaborative community on Edmodo. They can interact by leaving comments on assignments and questions you post. Edmodo is safe. Students cannot write private comments to each other; all comments are posted to the group and can be monitored by you.
