#edmodo

La educación presencial ha incursionado en el uso de tecnologías al observar cómo esta ha resuelto la necesidad de educar de formas diversas y que se acercan mucho más a educadores y estudiantes. Según Sangrá (2002), Educación y virtualidad se complementan en la medida en que la educación puede gozar de las posibilidades de creatividad de la virtualidad para mejorar o diversificar sus procesos y acciones encaminados a la enseñanza y al aprendizaje, mientras que la virtualidad como sistema se beneficia de la metodología de trabajo educativo y de comunicación, necesaria en aquellos casos habituales en los que la finalidad de la relación en la red sobrepasa la de la búsqueda de información. Ambas vertientes se convierten en equipo para hacer que la educación sea una versátil y dinámica.

Alguna de las tecnologías utilizadas en la educación presencial es Edmodo

Esta plataforma educativa permite al maestro compartir diversos temas, crear foros de discusión, encuestas entre ellos y preguntas de investigación. Se pueden hacer pruebas o exámenes con un tiempo establecido de respuesta. Provee acceso desde dispositivos móviles y premiar al estudiante por sus logros dentro del curso.

Otra es Google Classroom

Esta plataforma crea salones para publicar tareas, encuestas, preguntas y otras adicionales. Se conecta Google Drive y archiva los trabajos en carpetas de cada grupo establecido. Muestra el orden en que los estudiantes entregan lo trabajos y notifica. Tiene una portada donde se puede compartir diversos videos, fotos y otras cosas necesarias. El estudiante a su vez puede compartir lo que se le solicita y comunicarse con el profesor y sus compañeros. Las tareas se pueden programar con fecha y hora, registrándose en el calendario del estudiante.

Otra utilizada es Kahoot

Kahoot es una página en línea que permite al maestro crear pruebas que los estudiantes pueden contestar en el salón presencial y mostrarle los errores cometidos al momento. Crea un tipo de competencia entre ellos y les gusta mucho la plataforma por ser atractiva visualmente.

 Estas plataformas educativas virtuales se muestran como un salón virtual y a su vez otras son gamificación mientras enseña a los estudiantes. Las primeras dos permiten la colaboración y apoyo entre estudiantes y maestros al igual que permite la comunicación entre estos. La educación a distancia es una herramienta que permite a la educación continuar y apoyar en la necesidad de cualquier estructura académica.

Teacher-student relationships in the age of social networks

That education and social media share borders and encroach on each other’s spheres of influence should come as no surprise. On the one hand, education as we know it is largely a social engagement in itself, involving teachers (the conduits for new cognitive experiences) and students (the learners of new or restructured knowledge). On the other hand, social media is both a technological tool for…

In addition to students, professionals who do not learn in classrooms also use these devices to further their education. Apple’s App Store offers thousands of educational apps for the iPhone.

This week I will be taking a look at Edmodo, a free course management system that I will compare to the existing learning management system that I use regularly in my own district, Google Classroom. The first thing that sticks out to me about Edmodo is the home landing page uses a social media profile page layout to encourage teachers to connect with other teachers and find resources. Users are able to add hashtags to tag resources/posts. Users can then browse other user’s posts based on those hashtags. Google classroom does not enable sharing across the platform in this manner. Most collaboration on Google Classroom is kept within users’ domains and limited to Drive/document sharing or email/chat communication. 

One grip I’ve always had with Google Classroom is the way I find myself juggling posts to ensure that the most prevalent post is at the top of the classroom page. Google classroom tends to treat all posts as equals, and teachers know that is certainly not the case. In Edmodo, you are able to post an agenda that stays visible on the top of the page for a desired length of time (1 day, 1 week, or custom). This feature affords itself to the execution of full units that are student-paced. With Google Classroom teachers need to push the agenda post back to the top of the page after each time they post new material. 

In addition, Edmodo has an interesting jump start activity feature which is a Kahoot-like game activity that can be done individually or as a whole class. In the activity studio users can add different question types such as multiple choice, true/false, matching, insert resources, short answer, fill in the blank, math specific, and error correction. This activity boasts more response options than Google Forms and it includes different game themes (space, deserted island, etc.). Google Classroom would require a third party app to do the same thing, but full integration would still not be present in Google Classroom. With this activity type in mind I would also like to point out that assignments and quizzes are the same as on Google Classroom or Google Forms with autograde available for selected response questions.

 I was unhappy with how Edmodo made me attach a word document. With the ubiquity of Google Docs, I’m concerned that Edmodo does not easily integrate with Google Drive. Users can log in to connect a Google account, but mine wouldn’t allow me to connect the application since I’m on a school device with this application being blocked by our network. While this seems to be only a minor setback, as a user you can tell that Edmodo has a preference for Microsoft.
