Edmodo & Ethics

Hello everyone! This is Elena and, as well as my teammates, I am going to evaluate an ICT tool useful for a Primary School classroom. 

I have chosen EdModo, a tool to create a virtual classroom between teachers and students in which tasks, announcements and materials can be posted and where teachers can add other tools such as gamification. In addition, teachers can contact parents and students' progress is also assessed with grades and insignias. It can be used with children from Kintergarden to Grade 12th.

Hii! It is Gema and Elena, the stars of the last week ☹️ First and foremost, if you would like to check our infography, please click here! Throughout this week, the whole group has pitched in to create an infography about the main competences for the Digital World.  To be honest, the presentation didn't go as bad as we initially thought it was going to be, in fact, we managed to explain all the items and our classmates actually understood it very well, which actually pleased us a lot. Actually, it is nice to leave with a nice memory of this week as we have put plenty of effort to our weekly tasks (not just this one). Just in case you are not familiar with this model we let you here a very brief explanation and reflection about what is it and its importance for teachers. Almost all frameworks emphasize the use of technology, restricted to teaching in the conventional classroom, and the ethical and social aspects only from the legal use of technology or security. After reading the do...

Regarding the conflict situations this week, there was not a single one, which means that everyone behaved properly and worked hard on the assignment. Regarding the fulfilment of obligations, On this week everyone completed their assigments, furthermore, we worked hard to create the most tedious part which is the infographic, in which each one of us read a different part of the text called Holistic Teaching Competence for a Digital World, I need to say that each on of us make their own resume.
