Best Practice

 * Claim a sub-domain and bring your community together, in the context of your school.
 * Any teacher can then be connected to the sub-domain of the school.
 * You can then work collaboratively within your building as well with the outside world.

Understanding Groups

 * You can be a member of a larger group of educators
 * You can be an owner and member of a group of your classes
 * You can be an owner and member of groups of content subjects

Creating Groups

 * Be sure to read the help section of managing groups.
 * Create a group by clicking on the create group section and click on "Advanced Options" and then the "Moderate all posts and replies".
 * This will allow you to manage all posts before they're launched.

Edmodo Store - Coming in the Fall

 * Edmodo funded "Teacher Wallets" so teachers can have credits to purchase apps.
 * You will be able to purchase apps for teachers, students and parents within your sub-domain group.
 * Schools and districts will be able to fund the purchase of apps.
 * You purchase the credits and tell it where the app is to go.
 * Schools will be able to use a purchase order to purchase apps and distribute them to teachers.
 * Right now, you can purchase an app for a group of up to 30 members for a year. Expansion coming.

Help Center Landing Page

 * Follow the sequence of setting up accounts by going to this link: [|http://help.edmodo.com/school-district/]
 * Always log-in through the sub-domain of your school.
 * Once you're in the sub-domain, you can create groups with teachers and students.
 * Admin features will be visible
 * You can find your school code - click on settings - under the school name.

Manage classes, tests and quizzes.
