Digidrive was missing the great suite of free digital tools for education proposed by friend Emmanuel Zimmert in The Digital. An online space to centralise access to each digital tool and, above all, to group all the files and documents created with it.
This is how it was born Digidrive. A real good idea that comes to give a kind of coherence, a red thread, following the free educational digital that has become unavoidable.
La Digitale’s free tools for education
Table of Contents
What is digital?
A little reminder for those who do not yet know. LaDigitale.dev is a series of small Free software dedicated to education. They have the particularity of being free of charge and ‘responsible’.
This last clarification is important. Digital creator fights to deliver a responsible digital tool for education. In other words, tools that are free, respectful of privacy, free of advertising and imbued with a certain digital sobriety. Emmanuel Zimmert explains this in an article on his website.
I have presented and said here all the good I thought of this free online toolkit.
26 tools designed for pedagogical use
The DIgitale toolbox is full. It has been gradually filling up over time. All have a useful use in pedagogical use. No frills in operation.
It is simple, useful, effective. I know a lot of professional software that should be inspired by impeccable ergonomics that ensure immediate control.
It is difficult to cite here all the tools that digital technology offers you.
Some free tools offered by La Digitale
Digiquiz, Digipad, Digicalc Digicode and other Digimindmaps or Digiscreen. With each tool offered by Digital you will be able to create as many exercises, files, documents as you want.
You can even use them without the need to register.
How to use digital?
The use of any digital tool is simple. On the homepage of the website, you have access to all the tools at your disposal. Each of them is presented in a simple and clear sentence.
You then have two buttons at your disposal: Discover / Use. The first provides a user guide for using the tool. The second allows the digital online application to be launched.
To save your creation, you will need to register. So far, it has been necessary to move from one application to another. With the all-new Digidrive this will change.
The All-New Digidrive
Digidrive is a complement to La Digitale that will prove very useful. It is indeed a central dashboard that will allow you to manage and organise all your activities with the tools present in the Digital.
The new tool: Digidrive
You will find shortcuts to go directly to the tools, you will also have access to all the documents or files created via La Digitale with, for each of them, the password to be able to modify it.
Digidrive also offers you the possibility to create folders to store and classify your creations by class, material or as you see fit. Practical.
A search engine and filters by date or by tool will allow you to easily find what you are looking for.
Digidrive Dashboard
Digidrive complements and adds a truly useful functionality to a high-quality digital toolkit.
Digital was designed to be based on a simple economic model: free of charge.
The tools are free and are not limited in features for anyone. To finance their development and hosting, the creator uses a crowdfunding system.
If you find all this useful, you can support the project. I encourage you to do so. The work done by Emmanuel Zimmert is enormous.
For Digidrive, it will also be necessary to have Contributed to Digital to be able to benefit from it. Access to Digidrive for 1 year for any donation of €25. You will receive a unique code that will allow you to register.
Note that Digidrive also allows you to test Digiwall. Another little novelty. This is an evolution of Digipad, which brings in particular new capsule formats (photo gallery, image, audio …).
