Software to assess students online

Good day, everyone! 

A software that teachers can use to assess students online is Edmodo. 

WHAT IS EDMODO?

Edmodo is an educational technology company offering a communication, collaboration, and coaching platform to K-12 schools and teachers. The Edmodo network enables teachers to share content, distribute quizzes, assignments, and manage communication with students, colleagues, and parents. Edmodo is very teacher-centric in their design and philosophy: students and parents can only join Edmodo if invited to do so by a teacher. Teachers and students spend large amounts of time on the platform, both in and out of the classroom. What is exciting about Emodo is that it also welcomes parents. 

Edmodo app

The all-new Edmodo app has been redesigned from the ground up to focus on how YOU communicate with your students, parents and fellow teachers.

ALL NEW FEATURES

- Teachers get a brand new home stream for sharing and discovering resources among your colleagues.
- All your classes organized into one space.
- Real-time Direct Messaging available for students and teachers!
- All-new Assignment Center that shows all your upcoming assignments and quizzes.

ENGAGE YOUR STUDENTS

With Edmodo, you can reach every student in your class. Students can login and participate from any phone, tablet or computer, and can check assignments from within the app. Facilitate discussion within a single class group or browse topics for resources related to your subject.

CONNECT WITH TEACHERS

Share and discover new lessons and resources across your school, district, or any of your teacher connections. Edmodo makes it easy for you to share anything on your phone with your connections. And the improved home stream means you can find dozens of educational resources for your classroom all at once.

3.Fill out the registration form with the Code, a unique username, and password. An email address is not required to sign up for a Student Account.

BENEFITS OF EDMODO IN LEARNING AND TEACHING  1. Home - School Connections.  Students are able to access their Edmodo accounts from school and from home. This allows them to prepare for upcoming events, tasks or assignments when working through their homework. It also allows them to communicate with their teacher (directly) or ask questions of their peers (on the public wall) when working through tasks at home. 2. Parent Access.  When a child joins Edmodo they are given a parent code. This can be found on the bottom left hand side of the student page. The parent then needs to go to www.edmodo.com and click on the 'I'm a Parent' tab. This allows them to see what their child sees, as well as the grade book (I'll tell you about this soon).  3. Teacher PLN Opportunities.  Having a teacher account on Edmodo allows you to connect with other educators from all over the world. I often send notes to other educators, asking or sharing ideas with them. Through one of these connections I was able to get in touch with a school in the USA who also have a contemporary set up. We often share little snippets of our classrooms with each other.  4. Resources That Can Be Shared. I share a range of resources with my students on Edmodo. These include websites, embedded YouTube clips, flipped task links (EduCreations, etc), files, documents and images. This is fantastic as it means we are saving paper and I am showing students a solid range of resources without them needing to 'google' something.
