Today I will be a good student and start answering the questions from the very beginning. Well, there's only one question that applies to today's lesson (ending at 12.45)
What things have you covered in today’s sessions?
We started the lesson revising the main ideas :
-Collaboration with /among students is possible thanks to Today's Meet and Google Docs or Google Slides.
-a Blog can be used for assessment, reflection, writing.
-plenty of content is available on YouTube and Images .
Next we moved on to Platforms.
What is a platform? A central location where everything is organized. They are Virtual Learning Environments (VLE).
Platforms are repository (meaning you can keep contents in them) but also you can create activities.
Two very famous platforms are Moodle and Edmodo.
What is the difference between the two?
Edmodo is free while Moodle needs to be paid for.
Edmodo is better for short courses while Moodle is a big technology which has everything in it and tries to be the solution to all the problems .
Sometimes teachers get lost in it and also students are overwhelmed with technology!
Edmodo is easier to learn, it does not provide everything; for example it does not give blogging opportunities but you can create a link to blogs.
Following our requests, we spent the rest of the lesson focusing on the loads of content we have approached so far. Russel gave us some tasks to perform to check that we can actually prepare materials, use the technologies we have been exposed to . And….. we succeeded!!!!
