03 Websites and education

The website I'm going to critique about is the website we recently learned to use this past week called Edmodo. This website is basically a site where teachers can learn and work together to form educational things to teach to their students. Its a very social site between you and your group of people so definitely be ready to communicate when your on it. Its sort of like a coaching site to help further you along i your journey of being a teacher to the students your are having and I like it very much.

What i like about this website is that its also so easy to use and everything is all there to get going with your journey. This website is basically of representation of Chapter 9's topic. Chapter 9 mentions how "As the internet has developed , various online tools and services have become available. This is basically saying how, teachers use a lot of online things inside and outside of class to further their education with the students are with just them by themselves. Its alot different from how it used to be from just books and chalk boards.

Another thing we have been doing this past week that I found cool was learning to make newsletters. We was making them in the form of a school teacher format. Its so many ways to do it and a lot of possibilities to figure something out to make a topic about. I have been a having plenty of fun with that because its making me use a lot of functions on Microsoft word that I either rarely use or haven't used before.

  1. I really enjoy the setup of Edmodo. The fact that it is laid out like a social media platform is pretty cool, because it makes it easier to use and students will probably be more likely to utilize it. I had a lot of fun with the newsletter assignment too, and I can't wait to see everyone's!
