Surveymonkey has been a great discovery. Having a background in social policy research
I may exploit all my knowledge on how to make appropriate questions to create a
questionnaire in such programme. In the
past I have used more complicated type of software to design an analyse researches
and so, this website provides us a simple opportunity of creating useful questionnaire
in our teaching professional practise.
Nonetheless, this application is an example of how important is to
know what is behind particular software learnt during this subject. From my own
experience, I am aware of all work and training required to carry out a well
constructed questionnaire and how little details can completely change the
outcome. So, this highlights the importance of reflecting and knowing what we
are doing with any particular software; what are we trying to achieve?
The very last class of this course we dedicated time to Edmodo platform, which is a free educational
platform. In common with other educational platforms, Edmodo allows to create class
groups, assignments, tests, upload material, calendar, announcements, alerts...
Nowadays, this is a very useful tool when carrying out a course which
contributes to organisational purpose of the subject. Some of my colleagues in
education use Google Drive for such aim and being experts as they are, believe
Google Drive provides all you require your class management. Personally, I have
worked with Moodle application and as I have previously said here, I would
prefer to deep my knowledge in such application rather than learning more about
Edmodo. As far as I am concerned, all these applications are great to their maximum
potential, so I better learn more in depth than many superficially. In this
case, choose to deep my knowledge in Moodle platform.
