It has been a while I haven't post a new entry for this blog. Quite busy with life and assignment. However, as my readers, today you can consider yourself lucky because I want to share something about EDMODO!
As you can see below, Edmodo is almost as similar as facebook!
What's with this Edmodo and Facebook?
As fancy as facebook, Edmodo is the new trendy website for education purposes which provides teachers and students a secure place to connect, collaborate and share content. The design of Edmodo is almost similar to facebook. There are so many things that Edmodo can do in assisting modern teaching and learning process. Do you want to know about it more? Wait, continue reading!
Edmodo is flexible as it has iOS and Android apps available through the Apple App Store and Google Play (respectively).These were made and published by Edmodo developers [using Web API]
How can Teachers and Students use Edmodo?
You will be surprised how much Edmodo can do to help you! (teachers and students). Below are the list: Edmodo can be incorporated into classrooms through a variety of applications. Current uses include
1. posting assignments
2. creating polls for student responses
3. embedding video clips and other media to support students learning
4. a venue for students and teachers to post messages to one another.
Example of a Classroom Activity?
Example of a classroom activity that I would want to do with my students using Edmodo is experiencing the identity of a literature characters. For example, students will have to choose a character from a novel, then create a new identity (a new profile) of that particular character in Edmodo. Then, in creating the information, students have to understand well about their characters. Not only that, they are also required to interact among themselves (the different characters) basing on the plot from the literature. They can post, comments and share their thoughts and inner conflicts so that everyone will better understand about their personal feelings of the characters and also the intention of the author.
Limitations?
As far as I can see,the only limitation of Edmodo is the competition between Edmodo and Facebook. As facebook has wider connection to socialization, Edmodo may seem less interesting to students. If teachers do not remind students to use Edmodo, they may also forget about the existence of it!
