Comments:
BCPS has our own domain for Edmodo which provides added administrative control and security. Teachers create an account using their school code and create a group. Students use their Active Directory credentials for their account username and password. Students can only register when provided with a join code from a teacher. Students can send messages directly to a teacher but not directly to other students. Students messages are posted to the group. Teachers can monitor all messages. Teachers can create subgroups for small group instruction and differentiation.
