Lesson #4 PRACTICE. Digital technologies and interaction

We created a Virtual Learning Community on Edmodo taking into account the following information which will help us find the one that suits us best according to our needs as users or administrators.

Our choice of using one or another social network for educational purposes we can take into account:
 
•Administrator experience using this social network 
•Specific features that the social network offers:
•Design 
•Type of content and possibilities 
•Number of users type of interactions it offers
•Tools 
•Search/ classification 
•Management
 
We researched online and our group members María Naranjo, Irene Pardo, Judit Pastallé and myself we decided to use Edmodo based on our topic Jobs and Professions.
 

We were able to create a teacher's group to share articles, information and resources. We created an event and gave each other feedback on the resources we shared.

Why did we choose this network? 
 
We chose it because several people in our group were familiar with it so it allowed us to start using it with confidence as we were aware of the different uses that can be made of it.  It is also free of cost.  
At first sight the platform is aesthetically pleasing, and it is also quite similar to other social media platforms that we are acquainted with. 
One of the benefits is also that you can upload all kinds of files, making it easy for students to access information anywhere, anytime. One of the main factors that made us choose it was that teachers have control as well as the chance to create teams for each of their classes and supervise their different activities. More so, teachers can communicate with parents and inform them of important things that are happening. Interactions can also be done between colleagues to exchange ideas and experiences. 

One of the possible drawbacks could be that it doesn’t have a chat window to be able to interact with students live.

In this lesson we learned about the concept of Netiquette. It is the short term for "Internet etiquette ”. Netiquette is a code of good behavior on the Internet for emailing, social media, online chats ( Instant Messenger Services ), forums , website or news site comments , etc. There are two fundamental milestones in the history of style rules: The RFC 1855 document ( Request for Comments 1855) of 1995. This document was the first reference regarding rules of etiquette for the Internet.   NETiquette , by Virginia Shea 1994 . In 1994, Virginia Shea published this work , which has become one of the Internet classics. Core Rules of Netiquette as written by Virginia Shea can be read below. They have later been adapted to 21st century Internet use but their main principles remains valid: Rule 1: Remember the human Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online... Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace Rule 4:...

Conditionals  This is a conditionals exercise I did. The two images have been put together as they were a part of the same project   This is the first example I tried to make using Scratch and conditionals.   Variables  This is an exercise I tried by myself while practising the options that were given to us in class using variables.The following images show us two different ways of making a similar sequence of orders.     Loops  First I am showing basic examples of what I tried to experiment with in class     Here is another example of making a loop in two different but very similar ways:     This one is also a trial of different characters engaging in a conversation while they also move and interact within the setting :     Another example made to count from a given number upwards with a loop and variables:   Group work project on Scratch   This is our group project with all the different elements https://scra...
