[Extendt2_omt] Re: Technologies in Y2 interventions

Dear Marianthi, I agree with Sagun that the Google extension of ChoiCo is not always an added value, but we will use the extended versions. I wanted to read the extended sorbet manual today, and looked it up by the website, but when I click, I see manuals for Malt. Can this be changed?

When you say that students must use extended versions of the tools, and their extended functionalities this year, I was wondering how pupils will use geolocation/traffic data in ChoiCo if they are exploring an issue, such as energy consumption in their school. I understand that for our research purpose this year, we want them to use extended version, but shall we also remain a bit open for their selection on whether to use a static picture or geolocation/traffic data in ChoiCo? Of course, we will ask them to use the extended functionalities. I am afraid of the risk of not having any students using the new version of ChoiCo in their projects. One solution could be to focus on issues that can be related to the geolocation or traffic data in ChoiCo e.g. air pollution, means of transportation (for the traffic) or hidden places in the city or nature that arent visual on the maps and students go out and discover them (e.g. in a park or in their neighborhood). For example, they could use the google maps to depict different types of energy production in their city/country ( wind generators, factory, solar panels etc). It is important to evaluate these functionalities and show their added value for learning Best, Marianthi 1. 2. I still don’t find where the game is being saved in the Extendt2.com platform. I uploaded the ChoiCo game that I created and saved it. Next, the message popped up on my screen stating that it was successful; however, I could not find the game on the platform. Is the task around developing saving functionality still being carried out? If you are working with a teacher account you should be able to find the game in your activities. The process is that you click "create an activity", select "ChoiCo" in the tools dropdown, then edit the activity (e.g. upload the game), save it online. Then by going to activities, you will be able to find it there. So what do you see if you go to your activities? 1. User Journey: In its current form, in the ExtenDT2 platform, it seems to me that the teacher will create an activity and a group, and he/she will assign an activity to a particular group. While doing so, he/she will be able to link only one tool to an activity. I was wondering whether there will be no choice for students to use either tool to explore the issue as only one tool is associated per activity? Moreover, provided that nQuire for students is integrated, how can a teacher link nQuire for students and one more other tool to the activity. In this case, will a teacher develop another activity having almost a similar name? Apologies for sending a lot of queries. But what I think is that we need to gain clarity on these issues as early as possible.

This must also be visible in Y2 *Activity Plans* 2) The interventions need to be done *through the extendt2.com <http://extendt2.com/> platform*, which means teachers have to create an account, create student groups, set up an activity with one of the tools, assign it to student groups etc. 3) Capturing *user data* and representing them in the *LA dashboard* *doesn't happen automatically.* Teachers (or we) need to do some settings for the activity we want to capture the data before students start using it. If you have any questions regarding the tools and the platform, please let me or Philothei know Best, Marianthi Marianthi Grizioti (PhD) Post-doc researcher & software developer *Educational Technology Lab (ETL) <http://etl.eds.uoa.gr/> * *Department of Educational Studies* *National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece* Research Gate <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marianthi_Grizioti> | Academia <https://en-uoa-gr.academia.edu/MarianthiGrizioti>| LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianthi-grizioti-b0394038/>
