Read-Only Status

Save this page to your Edmodo Library

We know it can sometimes be difficult to ask for silence in a classroom. However, teachers have the option to place their group members in “read-only” status. This means a group member can read posts within the group, but cannot post a message to the entire group or reply to posts. Read-Only is a great tool to teach digital citizenship!
Note: When in read-only status, the group member can still send direct messages to the group owner and co-teacher(s), take quizzes and turn in assignments.

 

How to put all group members in read-only status

  1. From the group’s page, click the “Members” tab option at the top of the communication stream.
  2. At the top of the page, click the “Set All Members to” button.
  3. Select “Read-Only”.

Note: You can take members off Read-Only at any time by changing the “Set All Members to” option to “Contributor”.
