Learning Task #3 -Week 3

1. Edmodo




Code to group: nbanek

The first image is the teacher page and the second is the students. Edmodo is a great tool for teaching and learning. From a teaching perspective you can view how a student likes to learn(hands on, listening, or visual) and also what they are aspiring to become in their future. It is also great because I can post assignments for my class right on the site and have a calendar so students can see when upcoming assignments and exams are coming up. Also you can award your student a badge for having a good day at school or sending their assignment in on time. From a student perspective it is a way for them to stay organized, they can ask their classmates or teacher questions about their assignments and they can also check their grades. This site is also great for parents because it is one place where they can see what their child progress is and they can email the teacher through it and just be more involved in their child's learning process. 


2. Voki

This is a great idea to use in classrooms. It is a entertaining way to engage students on certain topics that might not be as interesting. This is also a great way to get their attention. I did have some difficulty getting the voice to work, but i'm sure if I kept trying I would get it eventually. I think that this is a great way for shy students to give a presentation in class or just a new way to give a presentation.
