Diego? Oh you mean Diigo!!

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing good! Today we'll talk about a friend of mine named Diigo. On Monday, we have been introduced to this platform and I'm here sharing it with you!! Soo, let's diiiiiiive into it!



Diigo is a social bookmarking website with the goal of helping us create our own personal library (Amazing, right?). DIIGO is actually an abbreviation for 'Donut Is Irresistibly Good Oh'. (Ok I'm actually kidding). DIIGO means 'Digest Of Internet Information, Groups and Other stuff'. The platform simplifies e-reading, and improves workflows to boost productivity. It also helps users to manage information using sticky notes, highlights and tags.



I find the website useful when it comes to sharing information with ease as it stores all our relevant information in the cloud. So yeah by the way, Diigo is a LMS (remember that term?). It also allows us to share as much data we want and those can be set private or public.

As a prospective teacher, I am looking forward to use Diigo as my bookshelf where all books and documents will be placed according to their category. What I find amazing is that I will be able to access the platform on any device and save any sites/PDF/links/images (WHATEVER) on it. This will ease my work when I'll have to recommend a reading to my students or even share a bunch of reading resources to my colleagues.

So yeah, I encourage you to use it and keep everything organised !
Cheers!

LMS? Cloud?

Hello everyone,  Hope you're all good.  This week for 'Bringing Technological Innovation', we have been introduced to LMS. And by this cool abbreviation I don't mean 'Like My Status', even though I'm counting on you to like my posts (kidding)..(or not)..(seriously,like my post, I have no friends). Well, where was I?...This Monday, the class was interesting and we learned this brand new term. LMS means Learning Management System. It manages the teaching and learning process. It is a cloud-based platform used for administering learning content, tracking and reporting learner progress.                                Cloud-based platform? Yes CLOUD. (Just imagine a cloud as being a virtual space). There are companies who offer that cloud (space) as a service which enable users to store files and applications through the internet. Thus, a cloud-based platform is any software that is deployed in a ☁️environment rather than being hosted on a local server. Files can

 Yo! Hope you're all good.  Today, I'll share a platform with you (kind of similar to Kahoot), named Quizizz.  Sooooo, let's dive into it! Quizizz is a creativity software company used for classes, group works, exams etc.. Even though it is a bit like Kahoot, Quizizz keeps its originality by allowing us to conduct student-paced formative assessments. DO NOT PANIC! LET ME EXPLAIN!  On the platform, there is an option whereby questions appear on each student's screen, so they can answer questions at their own pace, and review their answers at the end (Quite fun right?). I find it dynamic and engaging for students of all ages. What I also like about Quizizz is that there are a lot of public quizzes that we can try. It helps in gaining knowledge on various topics and share with teachers all around the globe! As a future teacher, I'll definitely use Quizizz to assess my students after each topic that I'll be covering in class and I encourage educators to use it to br

Hello guys, Hope you're all good. As my subject area is Physical Education, the course I will be launching on G-Classroom will be all abouut ????. Come on. Say it with me! Bravo! Good answer! The course will be about PHYSICAL EDUCATION!! (I feel like Dora The Explorer). Seriously, today I have been thinking of topics I can introduce to you on G-Classroom and the idea of starting from the basic use of sports came to my mind.  Why not guiding you on how to stay fit?  Nowadays, with easy access to social media, a lot of people, especially teenagers do not care about staying fit. Long ago, sport was an entertainment for youngsters, now if Tik Tok was a sport discipline, Mauritius would be the most healthy country on the planet with excellent TikTok Athletes.  Taking care of one's health and mental state is important. For me, teaching and sharing my point of views on staying fit is crucial and the fact that fitness does not deal with one specific sport discipline, everybody will be
