What is it and how to get on ?

Belouga is a very interesting educational website geared towards children under the age of eighteen. Although most of the site is designed for students, teachers can also perfect their crafts with the professional development tools. In order to get on the site you must either purchase a teacher account or join a classroom for free however, you will need to know the name of the instructor or you cannot get on.

Tools of the website

There are three tabs that reside on the top of the website next to the logo which are my belouga, deep-dive series and professional development. The Deep-Dive tab contains “series” which are essentially collections of information on a certain topic. These series can be on any topic in education and can have videos or text inside them. Students can watch the video or read the text and collaborate with others. The professional development tab is for teachers. This tab has the same series like component instead it’s about helping other teachers. The my belouga tab contains three sub-tabs which are shared with my classes, my created series, and bookmarked. As the instructor you can view what you shared with your students, series you created yourself and series that you have bookmarked for the future. Along with all of these cool features are badges students can earn, a messaging system, and a suggested connections link that will pair you with another teacher around the world. In my future career as an educator I will certainly use this site because it seems like a fun way to learn information on all types of subjects. In my future classroom I would assign short videos as homework just so students can have a stress free homework assignment which is visually simulating. Visit Belouga here
