Edmodo

=Edmodo=

Dear Parents, This year we will be using Edmodo in Mr Dellemann’s classes. Edmodo is a free and secure learning network for teachers, students, and schools. It provides a safe way for us to connect, share content, access homework, participate in discussions and receive class information.

Edmodo is accessible online and through any mobile device with Internet capabilities – including free apps for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. Students can access their account from any mobile device or computer, and set up notifications within Edmodo to receive alerts/reminders via text or e-mail. **//If you do not have computer access, you can make arrangements to use the net books in my room.//** Edmodo will not be used as a social network like Facebook or MySpace. This tool will be used __strictly for educational purposes__ using the following guidelines:
 * Students will be required to use appropriate grammar instead of texting language
 * Edmodo does not allow private student-to-student messaging- the site will be used to discuss school-related content only
 * No put-downs or sarcasm toward another’s ideas. All school rules and consequences related to harassment apply


 * Students who violate the guidelines above may face disciplinary action and/or face losing the privilege of using Edmodo. **

I look forward to a great year as we incorporate the use of technology into our classroom curriculum. If you have any questions, please contact me at cdellemann@reedsville.k12.wi.us

Thank you,

Mr. Dellemann
