Create a community hub with Discord
Creating online space for your students
The next step in the Survival Guide is to create an online place where your students can come together. A place where you can keep them engaged with various activities and where they could share their thoughts, concerns and experience. This place will be the "base" of your comminity. You could manage this base and easily navigate the people in it (both teachers and students).
There are plenty of tools that allow video meetings alone. We need something more. We need a platform that allows students to have discussions both live and asynchronously - that means that one must be able to post a comment or a question and in a few hours another person can see it and respond.
The community hubs that we researched and know of are:
- "Google Classroom";
- "Microsoft Teams";
- "Slack";
- "Discord";
Each one of these has its own niche and if you have experience with them, go ahead and use them. If you don't, follow the steps in this lesson and try "Discord".
Why Discord?
Our way of thinking is that your users are children and some of them may already use the popular tool "Discord" for gaming communities.
From the administrator's perspective "Discord" is free, feature-rich and modifiable to great extends. There are plenty of Bots that allow automation of tasks. The application works in a web browser, on desktop and on mobile.
Note that we are not related to "Discord" by any means, referrals or affiliates. We just believe it's a great free tool that you could use to create a place where your community could gather and communicate.
