Check in Mouth 2 Mouth

A brand new restaurant in Surat Thani. The place is chick for people who like western style food and beverages. There are so many cocktails that you might like one of those. The food is served in a full decor set, looks nice and yummy. The music is good and the lights are great with that hanging light bulbs, look like you are in Ricks's cafe' Casablanca. Well, not exactly, because this is 21st century, so thing might look different. The place is kind of romantic for those love birds or newly married couples. Let's go and check it out!

Learning Outcomes and Attitudes of Students Participating in Edmodo Social Network

Abstract 

A free online application of Edmodo was used to activate supplementary learning for Thai students in biology class. A learning community in Edmodo social network was established based on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) platform where students can share their ideas, follow up with class assignments and take provided quizzes. The aim of this study was to investigate the students’ learning outcomes as well their attitudes toward joining the online social network for engaged learning. Participants were Grade 12 students in a secondary school in Thailand and the learning content was about Genetic Inheritance. Students were to attend face to face traditional class and also sign up for extra online activity. Assignments and quizzes were supplemented for students to catch up with learning contents via online Edmodo. Students were required to work collaboratively on the assignments, take quizzes and the unit test. Students’ online scores as well as paper based score were collected and analyzed. Self-reported survey questionnaire was administered at the end of the unit to examine attitudes of students participating in Edmodo social network. The statistical analysis revealed that learning outcomes of students participating in online collaborative social network significantly improved while students showed positive attitudes towards the learning platform.
