I understand your criticism of it but have you actually used it? Sophia is a very good tool but it's also easy to criticize if your only experience with it was through a presentation. <br /><br />Myself and others who teach at colleges in my area, the Twin Cities in Minnesota, have been using Sophia as a resource and for flipping the classroom. My students have loved Sophia as a study aid outside of the classroom because of the amount of information you can put here and how well you can organize it. Also, I used it twice via flipping the classroom and it worked out very well. The students had their learning objectives already, I told them where they had to go on there and we had a good discussion the next class and they also did well on their exams. <br /><br />Also, this summer I'm going to experiment with the group function on Sophia. This will be a great aid to my residential classes as an announcement page and a place to put my assignments that are specific private to the class itself. <br /><br />All in all Sophia has been useful to me so far and I will continue to use it and experiment with it this summer. One more use I got out of it was for students who missed a lecture or class. With the information I was able to provide here and also on youtube they were never behind. <br /><br />One more useful function came to mind, my apologies for the randomness. Not every teacher is good at what they do. I get e-mails on a daily basis on my youtube account thanking me for the work I do and not even a week after I started on Sophia I started getting thank you e-mails from students who have had or are having a poor classroom experience. <br /><br />To sum up I have found this a widely useful resource for my classroom and I look forward to building more material on here for my students and others. Also, the Sophia team cam to our school and gave a great PD session on how to use technology and social media as educational resources as well. All in all I and my colleagues have been satisfied with our experience with Sophia and I hope you see it for the useful too that it really is.bullharrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392906378967862655noreply@blogger.com
