I've opened a class on Edmodo!

      Hello there~ My last post was about Miro and it has been two weeks already. Time really flies! And I'm still trying to improve myself in material designing. Therefore, today I will talk about my delightful experince on Edmodo. 

     Edmodo is an educational network where teachers can share lesson documents, assignments, notices, quizes etc. with their students and it was founded in 2008. It is available in Arabic, English, Spanish, German, Greek, French, Italian, Turkish, Chinese etc. 

     In the past, I had some experience on Edmodo as a student. However, it was a brand new experience for me to use Edmodo as a teacher. Thereby I had a chance to look from the persepective of a teacher and create a class for my imaginative students. 

     You can join my class through this link :) or you can use the class code which is tkfii4.

I've tried Miro~ A Mindmap About SAMR and TPACK Models

      Miro is a digital whiteboard where you can collaboratively organize and design your thoughts. I've used Miro with the purpose of mindmapping. 

      There was just one template for mindmapping and it just had a few features like changing the mindmap to horizantal or vertical, and changing the line types and colors. 

     Therefore, I've dissapointed with its features. I couldn't use it efficiently, since I couldn't convey the knowledge as I wish. And the result wasn't satisfying, both aesthetically and with respect to content.

     After finishing the mindmap you can save it as pdf or jpeg file for free. I like that feature, as I said in the previous post it wasn't free in the Mindmeister. However, downloaded files were in low resolution because you know it was free. 

    Therefore, If I have to choose between Miro and Mindmeister, I would choose Mindmeister. Because it has more features and you can have screenshot of mindmap and its resolution would be the same as Miro's downloaded files.

-SAMR-

-TPACK-

     Our topic was SAMR and TPACK models. SAMR model indicates the levels of classroom technology integration. S stands for Substitution, A stands for Augmentation, M stands for Modification and R stands for Redefinition.

    On the other hand, TPACK model indicates the integrated use of (t)echnological, (p)edagogical (a)nd (c)ontent (k)nowledge.

Here is the link to my mindmap :)
