Using Conoted in the classroom allows students and teachers to organize and structure learning material, integrate external knowledge, and collaborate with experts. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use Conoted in the classroom.
1) Create a Group and Add Students
The first step for any student or teacher is to create a new group for the lesson:
- Create a Group: Open the Conoted app and click on the "Create a Group" button.
- Add Students: Enter names or select students from the user list. If students are not yet registered in the app, send them an invitation via SMS or messenger with a registration link.
2) Group Name, Description, and Tags
After creating a group, you need to give it a name and add a description:
- Group Name: Specify the topic of the lesson, for example, "Lecture on Accounting: Basic Principles".
- Description: Briefly describe what the group will discuss, for example: "Discussion of basic accounting principles, including methods and techniques."
- Tags: Add keywords that describe the topic of the lesson, for example, "accounting", "accounting", "methods".
3) Adding Notes
During or after the lesson, the teacher and students can add notes to the group:
- Creating Notes: Each group member can create a new note in which to record the main ideas, questions, or results of the discussions.
- Multimedia: Notes can contain not only text, but also images, links to diagrams or tables, which makes them more visual.
4) Linking and Tagging Notes
After adding notes, it is important to properly structure them:
- Linking Notes: Notes on the same topic can be linked to each other. For example, a note on accounting methods can be linked to a note on practical applications of these methods.
- Tagging: The app will automatically suggest tags based on the content of your notes, making them easier to find and organize in the future.
5) Public Note Suggestions: Collective Intelligence.
Public notes on the topic of the lesson will be suggested to students and the teacher periodically:
- Public Note Suggestions: The app analyzes the content of the group and suggests notes from other users that can complement or expand on the knowledge of the topic being discussed.
- Public Note Integration: These notes can be added to the group for a deeper dive into the topic.
6) Expert User Recommendations
The app can also suggest students, teachers, or external experts who specialize in the topic under consideration:
- Expert Recommendations: Based on the content of your notes, the app will suggest users whose notes or expertise may be useful.
- Add Experts: You can add these users to a group or link them to specific notes for consultation.
Lesson Outcome
After completing the lesson, students and the teacher will have a structured set of notes related to the lesson topic:
- All Notes on Topic: The group will contain all notes created during the lesson, as well as public notes and experts recommended by the app.
- Ready for Next Lesson: You can continue working with this group in the next lesson or create a new group for a new topic.
Conclusion
Using Conoted in the educational process allows you to effectively structure the material, link it to external sources, and attract experts. This significantly improves students' perception and memorization of information, and also creates a deeper understanding of the material being studied.
