There are several online learning networks and systems teachers manage to engage today’s interactive and technology-based learners!
Schoology is a management learning system teachers use to document record, and organize daily required learning tasks. For example, teachers can create a class or multiple groups for students, post assignments, record student scores and grades in multiple subject areas, mark dates on calendar, develop quizzes, search for content learning resources, post student discussions, submission drop boxes for posted student assignments, and provide feedback.
Edmodo is web 2.0 learning management system intended for social networking and interactive learning. Teachers can create multiple groups depending on one class’s need for tiered learning and flexible grouping, or if a teacher has multiple classes. Edmodo provides educators a platform to collaborate, exchange, and locate several meaningful resources for instructional practices, lessons, units, and assessment aligned activities to prepare and enhance student learning. Similar, to Schoology, Edmodo enables teachers to post student develop interactive linked resources to continue learning through various interactive activities, assignments, quizzes, and student data. Educators can use the calendar to save important due dates and upcoming school events, facilitate student discussions, submission drop boxes for assigned quizzes, assignments, and homework, provide private or class feedback, and store student grades from Edmodo scored and data stored to monitor student progress.
Both learning management systems approach learning through internet social networking to incorporate individual learning needs and curriculum relevance, using a variety of learning technology tools and resources to enhance student performance and spark learning interests!
