Microblogging for the “Classes”
![Page 15: Creating Online Class Communities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56816933550346895de086c7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that was designed to be a safe alternative to traditional social networks to use in the classroom.
Teachers and students can send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other.
What is Edmodo?
![Page 16: Creating Online Class Communities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56816933550346895de086c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Teachers sign up for accounts, and then create groups.
Each group has a unique code which is distributed by the teacher to the class.
Students then sign up (no email address required) and join the group using the code.
How does Edmodo work?

Diigo Educator Accounts

![Page 38: Creating Online Class Communities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56816933550346895de086c7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What are Diigo Educator Accounts?
These are special premium accounts provided specifically to K-12 & higher-ed educators.
You can create student accounts for an entire class with just a few clicks (and student email addresses are optional for account creation)
Students of the same class are automatically set up as a Diigo group so they can start using all the benefits that a Diigo group provides, such as group bookmarks and annotations, and group forums.
Privacy settings of student accounts are pre-set so that only teachers and classmates can communicate with them.
Ads presented to student account users are limited to education-related sponsors.
![Page 39: Creating Online Class Communities](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062400/56816933550346895de086c7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What are Diigo Student Accounts?
Student accounts are Diigo accounts created by approved teachers through their Teacher Console.
Classmates in the same class are automatically added as friends with one another to facilitate communication, but students cannot add anyone else as friends except through email.
Students can only communicate with their friends and teachers. No one except their friends can send message, group invite, or write on their profile wall.
Student profiles will not be indexed for People Search, nor made available to public search engines.
