Using videos with Edmodo• Edmodo does not have its own video viewer

• Embedding the code to your videos is easy

• Your will need to check a video viewer based on your school technology abilities• Youtube.com – blocked on many campuses (especially elementary)• Teachertube.com and SchoolTube.com are viable alternatives• I use Knowmia.com for a lot of my lessons• New application – edpuzzle.com allows embedded comments, video editing,

and formative assessments linked to the video

Edmodo help solve workflow problems
