Sharing with Parents - The Public Wall or Student Account

In order to share information with parents, you have a couple options.

The Public Wall lets you take any piece of your Edmodo group public. It is published to a specific URL that you can share with parents.

  • You can make any message in your group a public message. This lets you share assignments, polls, notes (that allow you to embed video, images and more). 
  • Can NOT share calendar events. 
  • Parents can subscribe to an RSS feed of this page
  • Or, use Feedburner.com to create an email subscription option.
You could let parents create an account in the same way you have your students create accounts. You could allow them in the same group as your students or create a parent group.

Or, when you inform parents that you are using this technology, encourage them to talk with their students and look around the site with them.
