lumio for teachers and students
How to use lumio in the classroom?
Teaching students how to take the tremendous amount of information and data that is available to them on the web and then doing something useful with it becomes harder and harder every day. Information overload, plagiarism, finding exactly the right content and then remembering where you found it, correctly citing sources — these make research projects of any kind difficult for both students and teachers.
lumio allows students and teachers to highlight and organize what’s important for them, therefore allowing you to process, understand and make sense of the subject being researched. lumio cards and collections can also be shared quickly.
Classrooms are becoming even more and more spaces for discussion, rather then lecture. Students need to read and process the assigned texts and tasks before going to the class, where, together with their teacher, their main goal is to make sense of what they have encountered. With lumio, students can collect selected text, images and screenshots together and add their notes to every piece of information saved.
Last but not least, lumio’s powerful search function allows you to easily retrieve whatever you saved with lumio not only at class, but even much later, e.g. when writing your thesis months or years later.
