INGRESAR AL AULA DE "TEACHER JAKY"


The Secretary of Education of Bogota has invited to students of public schools to use Duolingo for Schools. It is a version of the popular language-learning platform, Duolingo, designed specifically for use in educational settings. It allows teachers to integrate the engaging, gamified learning experience of Duolingo into their classrooms to support language instruction. Here’s how it works and its key features:


Key Features and Uses:


  1. Teacher Dashboard: This is the core of Duolingo for Schools, providing teachers with a dashboard to create classrooms, add students, and track their progress. Teachers can see which lessons students have completed, their scores, time spent on each activity, and areas where they might need more practice.

  2. Assignments and Goals: Teachers can assign specific language lessons, units, or skills for students to complete. They can also set goals for their students, such as practicing for a certain amount of time each week or completing a specific number of exercises.

  3. Free to Use: Duolingo for Schools is free, just like the standard Duolingo app. This makes it accessible for schools with limited budgets and ensures that students can use it without additional costs.

  4. Customizable Learning Paths: While students follow a structured learning path on Duolingo, the platform allows teachers to choose specific topics or skills that align with their classroom curriculum. This helps ensure that students practice vocabulary and grammar that is directly relevant to what is being taught in class.

  5. Gamification and Engagement: The core strength of Duolingo—its gamified lessons—remains intact in the Schools version. Students earn points, badges, and maintain streaks, which can make language learning more engaging and fun, especially for younger learners.

  6. Variety of Languages: Like the regular version of Duolingo, Duolingo for Schools offers a wide range of languages, making it versatile for different language programs. Teachers can use it for common languages like Spanish, French, and English as a second language, or less commonly taught languages.


Benefits for Classroom Use:

  • Supplementary Practice: Duolingo for Schools is often used as a supplementary tool, complementing traditional classroom instruction by providing additional practice outside of class.

  • Individualized Learning: Since students work at their own pace on Duolingo, teachers can cater to different learning speeds and provide individualized support.

  • Remote Learning: It is particularly useful for distance or hybrid learning setups, allowing students to continue practicing their language skills even when they are not physically in the classroom.

Overall, Duolingo for Schools helps teachers enhance their language instruction by offering students a fun and interactive way to practice language skills, while giving educators the tools to monitor and support their progress.
