Educational Blog What was this blog about This blog was used as a tool to reach people over the web in order to share a little knowledge about some of the different aspects of literature.

This blog also intended to encourage and motivate visitors to read books and not only watch the movies that are based on the literary works to compare and contrast between the written word and the motion picture - doing it is always fun!

One entry per week was the big goal, in order to keep the blog updated and the open question or questions at the end where the open door for debate,

discussions or just insights or just a space to share thought about the topic.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Edmodo Classroom Edmodo for online teaching Edmodo is a very simple to use website for teachers to reach students and parents over the web to make classes different and include technology in the classroom. This platform lets you create an interactive place with very little distractions.

When you create your classroom Edmodo provides a code that you share with the students and parent you want to invite to your class.

I used my Edmodo classroom for an English course where student with the code can practice basic English knowledge.

Google Forms How to use Google forms in the classroom Everybody has a gmail account nowadays and with this account you get to enjoy many different, really useful applications that you can use in your classroom.

The Google forms option is an excellent way to create surveys in order to find out how your students feel about your class, what interesting topics they would like to learn about. You can also use them to create a file with important information about your students; you just create a form where they enter all the information you think it is important for you as a teacher to know about them.

You can also create quizzes for your students to complete at home and in that way take a little bit of stress off your students when assessing their progress.
