I recently completed this Digital Course online via Udemy by Craig Blewett. I'm not sure if it is still available on Udemy, but it is well worth checking out. Udemy is an online portal for courses.
This course covered the pedagogy called: Activating the Classroom. It was about changing the classroom from being about knowledge consumption to focusing on creating, conversing,. challenging and causing chaos. It's an active learning model that we may all be familiar with.
It then introduced digital apps and contexts on how these can be used to fit this model.
Some of them included:
- Listly
- Tlk.io
- HipChat
- Edu-Canon
- Padlet
- Google Apps for Education
- AllOurIdeas
- Powtoon
- Easel.ly
- Edmodo
Run by Dr Craig Blewet from South Africa, the course was relevant, up-to-date and fit with the inquiry based learning models used in most NZ schools. It definitely introduced me to a bunch of new tools.
