LESSON 9: RESEARCHING IN EDUCATION (LAST DAY)

-

For the group assignment in this class, we had create an interactive exercise with Live Worksheets, which is an interactive tool where teachers and other educators can create different worksheets regarding a topic of their choice. The goal is to upload the worksheet created to live worksheets and then be able to put the correct answers and create different types of exercises. Educators are also able to share the worksheets they have created with the rest of the users in order to help or inspire other indivdiuals for their own worksheets. We did a fill in the blanks activity and another activity about ordering names and images.




Finally, once they have filled out all of the exercises and check their answers a grade will appear at the top as we can observe below:


For the individual assignment, I have decided to talk about Ardora (http://webardora.net/index_cas.htm), a computer application for teachers, which allows them to create their own web content, in a very simple way. I found this application through Google as I was looking for interactive applications for an educational purpose. With Ardora you can create more than 35 different types of activities, crossword puzzles, word searches, fill in, graphic panels, symmetries, diagrams, etc., more than 10 different types of multimedia pages: galleries, panoramas or zooms of images, mp3 or mp4 players, etc; "server pages", annotations and collective album, timelines, poster, chat, poster, comment system and file manager, designed primarily for collaborative work among students, as well as utilities that allow the joint presentation of various content such as activity packs, web spaces or virtual desktops (desktop).
