Determine the number of students per small group and the purpose for creating the small groups.

Create your small groups to manage with these simple steps.

Sometimes it is necessary to split students into smaller groups for an assignment, peer reviews, or for additional instructions for those that need review or enrichment. The Small Group feature allows you to post, assign, and facilitate these smaller cohorts of students easily. Just click on the Small Group tab that is located at the top-center of your Edmodo home group page. Click on New Small Group and name it. Choose the specific students from the master list of the group members. These student names will automatically show up on the right-hand side of your screen. You merely need to drag the names of the selected students. If you need to remove a student, click red "X" next to the appropriate name.

The small group will now show up under the main group name on the left-hand side of your Edmodo home page. The small group colors can be changed the same way in which the main group colors are changed. Color coding will help you visually with managing multiple small groups.

Once small groups are created, you will be able to post notes, create assignments, and send quizzes to the appropriately identified small groups. This process mirrors the process described in the upcoming sections.

You may only need a small group for a short segment of your class.
