Group Management
Following are recommended best practices for managing Edmodo groups: 1. Reset group codes: After all members have joined a group, select lock from the drop down menu to the right of the Group Code. This will reset the group code and prevent new members from joining your group. 2. Monitor Group Membership: To maintain security of your groups, periodically check the Member list for each group to ensure only the students and teachers in that particular class have access. To access member lists, select members from the right-hand navigation when you are in a group. 3. Secure a Subdomain: We recommend schools and districts reserve a unique Edmodo web address (e.g. mydistrict.edmodo.com.) to manage users and access valuable reporting and analytic tools. Sign up for a subdomain at http://www.edmodo.com/ institutions. Change passwords, add members to a group, or archive an Edmodo group when the semester ends, all with our simple tools for managing your groups. To start, find the desired group name in the left-hand navigation bar of your Edmodo home page, and then click it. The right-hand navigation will be replaced with all of the management options for your group. Group Code The current group code will display in the right-hand navigation. To reset the code, click on the menu arrow next to the code and select Reset. To lock the code, choose Lock. Resetting the code will give you a new code for the group to give out. Locking will reset the group code but not reveal the code so that no one will be able to enter the group.

Archive - Teachers can archive a group once the semester or class has ended, rendering the group inactive. If you want to reuse the name of the group for next semester, make sure to rename the existing group before archiving it. Delete - You can delete the entire group as well, but please only use this if you really mean to.
