SWOT analysis for using Dipity in teaching and learning
Strengths
- It is a free digital timeline website in which we can organise our web contents by data and time.
- Anyone who knows how to use the internet can use this.
- Creating account is easy. Students can also login using their Facebook accounts.
Weaknesses
- Only few things can be done using free accounts.
- This can only be used while connecting to the internet.
- Students cannot learn by themselves, who to used it properly.
Opportunities
- Can be used in history classes or in courses which are linked to timeline.
- Students can be thought to organise their wed contents in a timeline basis.
Threats
- Student and teachers may get connection problems when using.
- As it is considered as social media website, it may be blocked in many school computers.
