Edmodo: o uso da rede social educativa no desenvolvimento de uma atividade com alunos do EJA

Abstract

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in aiding education offers teachers and students a wide range of tools that can provide an educational, playful, interactive and didactic environment. To be successful, the use of ICTs must always be analyzed and adapted to each educational reality. The chance of achievement, in the educational area, tends to be greater if the activities with the technological resources are well planned. The objective of this work was to analyze the students' attitudes regarding the accomplishment of an activity with the Edmodo Social Network Educational (CSR). The methodology used was research-participant that is characterized by the interaction between researchers and members of the situations investigated. The subjects studied were students of Education for Young People and Students (EJA), belonging to stages III and IV. The research was carried out with four classes: IV Orange, IV Green, III Green and III Blue. In general, the activity was successful. As the activity was carried out with more than one class, the singularity of each one and of the students can be observed. The first two classes remained, part of the time, timid, this entailed not finishing the activity for much of the class. In both classes the students had difficulty both in registering in Edmodo CSR and in creating an entrepreneurial idea, theme for activity. One of the classes was highlighted in relation to the manipulation of CS Edmodo. Students have become familiar with the manipulation of technology even the platform being novel to them. With regard to the last group, in relation to the time to complete the activity as initially proposed, they were able to succeed.
