@http://about.edmodo.com/ =At Edmodo, we help teachers make their classroom a community.=
 * WHAT?**

Edmodo provides a safe and easy way for your class to connect and collaborate, share content, and access homework, grades and school notices. Our goal is to help educators harness the power of social media to customize the classroom for each and every learner.

__**HOW?**__ Fulton County has a subdomain Edmodo account for all Fulton County teachers and students. Please use the code for Manning Oaks ES below to get linked with all other Fulton County users.

You need to enter the code for Manning Oaks which is ** ukwraz. ** Next time you login to @http://fultonschools.edmodo.com/ it will prompt you for a code again.

This is a reminder that IP forwarding will be activated tomorrow (November 30) for the Fulton County Schools’ subdomain for Edmodo. If a user accesses [|www.edmodo.com] on a FCS computer they will automatically be redirected to [|http://fultonschools.edmodo.com]. Please remind those teachers that are using Edmodo they will need to enter the unique school code in order to be able to login to [|http://fultonschools.edmodo.com]. They only need to enter the code on the first login. Each STS received the school code via email. As of today 238/600 teachers with Edmodo accounts have logged into the district subdomain.

 * Students do not need to enter the Edmodo school code to login to the district subdomain. Once a teacher has completed this all students associated with that teacher will have their accounts moved under the district subdomain.**
