Edmodo     Edmodo is a classroom communication medium that aims to ease and enhance the classroom experience. Edmodo brings students, teachers and parents in a single platform. In distant education, Edmodo can be helpful to keep track of the process. Besides distant education, it has significant use for face-to-face learning too. With Edmodo, a teacher can share materials, communicate with students or parents via direct message, create pools, store and reuse materials from previous classes. Students can keep track of their assignments, communicate with teacher directly and make comments. Peardeck     Using slides while teaching is pretty common for forty thirty years. A disadvantage to the slides are that they are not interactive. Peardeck is an add-on for Google Slides that makes it possible to create interactive slides. Its use is relatively easy, goes as creating slides with questions or polls and then creating a session for students to join.  Edpuzzle     In the name of being inter

    Distance education with its different nature from classical educatin does not seem to be different in essence, in core. Same elements have to be present and ready for learning to occur. One of those elements is the presence in the class. To make sure that there is successful learning, presence have to be achieved in three areas: social, cognitive and teaching.       Cognitive presence is an area where the process is done in order to motivate students into critical thinking and also autonomous learning. It has four stages whose boundries are not drawn strictly:  triggering: drawing attention of students done by the lecturer exploration: the part where students ask questions and learn the topic integration: the stage where they connect their former information with the new information  resolution: drawing a conclusion.     Teaching presence is the area where teacher is ready and present. The teacher should be focused on discussion based lessons, should share subjective thoughts in or

 

     Created by Richard E. Mayer and Moxana Moreno, Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning explains the learning process as receiving information and processing it while connecting them with prior knowledge. So the theory gives us three assumptions: Dual Channel, Limited Capacity and Active Processing.                              Dual Channel : The model presents that learners recieve information via two channels: auditory and visually.                             Limited Capacity : The models presents that learners have limited capacity as of their memories' information database is finite.                       Active Processing : The model presents that learners integrate their prior knowledge with the information received, so this means that there is an active processing.                                        This theory suggest that teachers should use both visuals and auditory materials in order for learning to be successful.
