Badges and Gradebook in EDMODO

Using the Gradebook

Keep your students’ Progress up to date and organized with Edmodo’s Gradebook!
Your students' grades are automatically entered when you grade Quizzes and
Assignments from your groups.  To get started and have students' names appear in your
Gradebook, you must first create an Assignment or Quiz.

Add New Grading Periods to Grade Book (Teacher)

If you would like a fresh start to an existing Group's Progress Book, you can create
a new Grading Period, which will add a blank sheet for your students' new grades. You
have the option to edit, transfer, or add new grades to the previous grading period.
To create a new Grading Period in your Grade Book, follow the directions below:
1. Navigate to the Grade Book where you would like to add a new Grading Period.
2. Click on the "New Grading Period" button   in the Grading Period section.

Your new Grading Period will appear as an empty Progress Book. Any
previous Grading Periods will be available in the Grading Period section above your
list of student names.

are probably not set to 100%.

Add Assignments and Grades (Teacher)
While any Assignment or Quiz you post to your Group can be automatically
added to the Gradebook, we know not all assignments will be posted using Edmodo.
To add grades for Assignments or Quizzes not posted through Edmodo, do the following:
1. Select the “Add Grade” button at the top right corner of the Grade Book.

2. Provide the title of the Assignment and the total number of points possible for
that Assignment.
3. Click "Create."

4. A new grade column will be added - it will be blank since the results don't come
from Edmodo. You can add grades manually by clicking on the blank grade area
for the student and typing in the grade. 

Note: Assignment and Quiz grades for individual Students will not automatically
appear in the Gradebook. Assignments and Quizzes sent to individual Students must be
added manually.

Edit Grades (Teacher)

populate in the Progress Book if you have chosen to include the Assignment there. To
edit the grade directly from the Progress Book:
1. Go to the "Class" icon   in the top toolbar.
2. In the drop down panel, select "Progress."

the Search Bar, or clicking on their name on a Post.

Award Badges
 Badges and Gradebook in EDMODO
Overview Trying to find ways to recognize your students and keep track of positive
behavior? You can easily provide recognition to individual students for their
achievements. Badges are simple to award, and teachers have the option to choose pre-
made designs or create their own. Try even incorporating Badges with your current class
reward system; talk about motivation (and organization)! Note: Teachers can only award
Badges to Students at this time. They cannot be awarded to other Teachers. Some
Edmodo Badges are awarded to teachers automatically like 1st Edmodo teacher at your
school.
