  This website is a 5 minute video with an overview of the basics of Edmodo. It is learner-centered and focuses on behavioral activity. “The premise underlying the learner-centered approach is that multimedia designs that are consistent with the way the human mind works are more effective in fostering learning than those that are not” (Mayer, 2009, p. 13). This short video is focused on showing the learner how to use Edmodo, not on what can Edmodo do for a classroom.

  This is a step-by-step instruction for how to organize your library on Edmodo. This is a learner-centered website. It is focused on how the learner’s mind works and how to use the software, not on how Edmodo would benefit or not benefit the classroom. “Learning-centered approaches begin with an understanding of how the human mind works” (Mayer, 2009, p. 13). Most people need to have step-by-step instructions when using new software for the first time, so by providing those steps, the focus in on the learner, not the technology.

  This website is a technology-centered website. It is focused on how Edmodo can be used in a classroom to enhance learning on the first day of school. “Technology-centered approaches begin with the functional capabilities of multimedia and ask, ‘How can we use these capabilities in designing multimedia presentations?’” (Mayer, 2009, p. 10). These tasks are given to help teachers see how Edmodo can be utilized in a classroom. The focus is not on how the human mind works, but on how to enhance learning using multimedia.
