We have a thread to discuss online schooling in general here, but this thread is to specifically discuss the things/websites/programs you use for online lessons
So what programs does your school use?
Do you like them?
Would you prefer another system?
Do you actually learn something or do you feel like it’s just a waste of time?
We have a free schooling program called mebis which is quite easy to understand but doesn’t work well because it’s usually overloaded. We also got access to an app called simpleclub but we only used it over and I found it annoying.
Some of our teachers just email us work and I feel like I learn the most this way actually
So what programs does your school use?
My school uses zoom, the school website, canvas, ladok (nothing new except from zoom)… The students use google sheets and docs for collaborations and we talk over discord. So if you see me active on discord and not replying, I’m probably in a 4 hours long group meeting. sigh
Do you like them?
They seem to be working fine.
Would you prefer another system?
Nah, I’m fine with the system. There are some teachers who come up with their own ways of doing things which is very confusing. Otherwise I’m fine with what it is.
Do you actually learn something or do you feel like it’s just a waste of time?
I learn… I’m just not very disciplined and effective at the moment.
So what programs does your school use?
Zoom, but there’s some news about Zoom stealing/hacking accounts so we switched to Webex, then our teacher says that her computer can’t support so many people or so and moved back to Zoom.
We also have an app/website that we use and our teachers send homework through that. It was originally used for computer classes but now there’s every other lessons too owo
I find it hard to find my homework because everything is a notification, even if someone posts something in a discussion, or the teachers upload their PPT, it’s all just a notification. It doesn’t specify what it’s for.
Do you like them?
It’s not bad.
Would you prefer another system?
I’d prefer another system for teachers to send in homework but all in all it’s still okay.
Do you actually learn something or do you feel like it’s just a waste of time?
It is a waste of time when the connection is bad and Zoom keeps logging me out sometimes. In other times, I do learn a little something.
We just use Zoom to have class meeting and I really don’t like it but that’s probably because I don’t like talking And I can’t really listen to what my professors say because I don’t like the program so I don’t really learn something. I wish they’d just give us the stuff we should learn written down somewhere and correct our homework but they always forget to do that
Aw… All the students are on mute and has the video cam off so we’re only listening to the lecturer. We only unmute ourselves to ask a question or if we’re in breakout rooms.
My school isn’t allowed to use Zoom or any video conferencing, so we’re mainly using Google Classroom and other google-affiliated products.
Kinda. It’s convenient, since we’d already been using it and teachers who didn’t have a Google Classroom created one.
Kinda. It’d prefer it if I could see my teacher and talk to them in real time (right now, they can only have one hour of real time office hours where they will be available for us to email them/comment on Google Classroom and get an immediate response)
