Developments in social and new media have created a world in which we’re all more connected.
Since 1995 groups of pioneers (visual communicators, scientists, etc.) have explored work relevant to the time and place surrounding us, some of which has involved online experiments.
There are millions and millions of different types of websites that show a full wide range and here are a few examples:
Kahoot is a website which is very common in classrooms where students have class computers or iPads or any sort of electronic device. It is a website where you can create millions of types of quizzes as a student or as a teacher, as well as being able to play quizzes. It is a modern way to play quizzes and really helps student get involved in their work and up their grades by doing online quizzes as games to revise for example.
Your classroom, connected.
Showbie is another school website, that is both a website and an app you can have on your phones or iPads. It is a much easier way to store papers and assignments for both students and teachers. This way students have less papers to carry and can easily submit their essays or any assignments easily online instead of having to carry around a lot of papers that can get lost.
Poptropica is a gaming website, where the entire website is about this game called Poptropica. It was a game a constantly played as a child and was one of my favourites even though it was very difficult. The game is very educational but also incredibly fun, and it was a very genius idea to have simply one website which has one game and in this game there is a whole world that you have to rescue by doing all this mini island quests. The game is entirely free and as a child is a lot of fun.
