Students’ Experiences on the Use of Edmodo Classroom: An Investigative Study in an Inclusive College Student’s Classroom
Öz
Nowadays students have seen a rapid expansion of tablet, computers and android phones in educational institutions. One of the educational features of android mobile phones is using Edmodo classroom apps to connect students in subject learning. On the other hand, given the brief narration of the android mobiles, modest research exists on the usefulness of educational apps, especially for slow learners. To fill in the gap, an investigation was done in an inclusive college student’s classroom. The students used Edmodo classroom for learning subjects. Assignments, activities, posters, video presentations and quizzes showed that use of the Edmodo apps improved student learning in subjects and decreased the attainment gap between slow learners and meritorious students. Students of PSG College of Arts & Science in Coimbatore, India, who have actively connected with Edmodo Classroom in their learning for the academic year 2019-2020, became the participants. Questionnaires were given to identify effectiveness of Edmodo app and its results incorporated with this study. The use of Edmodo app is one of the methods to fit the best classroom performance.
