Educational resource

The use of trivinet.com as a didactic tool, as an educational trivia, is the reason for this website. Trivinet arises from the hands of a computer teacher, Pablo Ruiz Soria, after detecting in his first year in the teaching profession the existing learning problems in the students and the difficulty of detecting these problems by the teachers. Next I am going to name which are my objectives with the web, an example of how to use it and some of the functionalities it has.

Objectives

Teacher's perspective

  1. Immediate detection of learning deficiencies
  2. To provide me with a tool that would allow me to carry out personalized follow-ups of my students.
  3. Detect where my students fail the most in order to reinforce this area.

Student perspective

  1. Provide a study tool (through the sending of questions and the game).
  2. Provide them with a place to see their successes and failures and at the same time contain the theory to reinforce those successes/failures.

How to use it in the classroom?

Each teacher uses it differently. What I do is the following. I create a group for each subject and have my students join the group. Then, as we go through the content, I have them suggest questions (a way of getting them to review). These questions come to me as the creator of the group and (here I begin to detect if there are gaps in the assimilated) and those that I consider appropriate I accept and thus become part of the trivia of our subject.

As students play (study) the questions, the percentage of correct answers for each question is updated (this way I detect their deficiencies) and a history of their answers is generated. Students can consult their own history and see where they hit and where they miss and have immediate access to theoretical explanations to these answers. The creator of the group, in my case me, also has access to the tracking, so he can see for each student where he gets right and where he fails (and reinforce him).

However, there are other colleagues who use the application differently.

What else can be done?

  • You can upload images to the group to use questions.
  • You can generate pdf exams.
  • You can generate exams on the web, they correct themselves and the students are told where they got it right or wrong (and shows the good one), they also get the grade automatically and can consult the test at any time.
  • You can create groupings of questions, for example to sort them by teaching units.
  • You can search for questions already created and incorporate them into your group.
  • ...

What if I want to...?

You only have to contact me and if I think that the improvement you propose can be useful to the teachers who use the web I will carry out your proposal as soon as possible.

How is it done...?

At the bottom of the page there is a link that says Videotutorials, it explains how to carry out various issues of the web. If you have any questions be sure to visit it and if after that you still have any doubt do not hesitate to contact me through the forum or social networks.
