Every year, I have used Edmodo groups for teachers to share ideas, make connections, and post any random questions they may have pertaining to the book they are doing for the Global Read Aloud. Edmodo has worked well for many teachers as a way to communicate with others and to find inspiration. While you do not have to join the Edmodo group to be a part of Global Read Aloud, or use it with your students, many have found it as an easy way to be connected and to connect with others.

I personally use Edmodo as a way to find people to connect with, it is a lot more manageable than sending out tweets. Let me know if you have any questions.
The Global Read Aloud 
I am excited to have my class participate in this year’s Global Read Aloud initiative . I am wanting to share the book entitled Fish in a Tree. My question is how do I get a copy of this book to read to my class?
That you do have to get yourself, I cannot supply books unfortunately
I have ordered them from Amazon before, or from a book store.
I got my copy at Barnes and Noble.
I got mine at Half Price Books, but I’ve had great luck using Amazon for book purchases in the past. Read the book recently and loved it. This will no doubt spur lots of classroom conversation!
I signed up for global read aloud with a different email address than is connected to my Edmodo account — will I still be accepted to the group?
