WHAT MESSAGING APP
DO YOU USE?
WHY?

As of the third
quarter of 2019,
social networking
mobile apps have
been popularly used
among 98 percent of
internet users in
the Philippines.
Other popular
mobile apps were
chat apps,
entertainment or
video apps, games
apps and shopping
apps.

Messenger

7
There were 29 090 000 Messenger
users in Philippines in
February 2019, which accounted
for 26.1% of its entire
population.

The majority of them were women

- 52.7%.

People aged 18 to 24 were the

largest user group (9 200 000).

The highest difference between

men and women occurs within

 It supports voice and text chat, video calls, and
screen-sharing, giving users multiple options to
connect and communicate.
 It operates on two levels: servers and channels.
The server acts as a classroom and the channels set
the stage for open discussion.

20
1. Free and Accessible 
It’s available on mobile and desktop which makes it easy to use. Plus,
all the features you’ll need from an online classroom is there. If you
want an upgraded experience, there is a paid option called “Discord
Nitro.”

2. Group Oriented and Collaborative

It’s all about the channels. You can set up voice channels where
everyone can interact and move freely to different channels. You can
also create text channels which gives you all the flexibility you need in
facilitating your tasks. (upload files, post updates, share images, review
previous lessons, etc.)

21
3. You Can Assign Roles
If there’s a serious topic that
must be addressed or a
group meeting that needs to
be held, teachers can create
role assignments so only a
specific group can be
involved in a discussion.

22
4. One Invite Access Pass
No need for multiple codes for every class
session. One initial invite is enough for the
class for the whole term. If you have an
account, just click on the invitation, log in,
and you’re good to go! If you don’t have
one yet, you can still click on an invite and
sign up from there.

5. Voice, Video, and Screen-Sharing

Discord allows you to do voice chat, video
call, and screen-sharing all in one channel.
What’s cool is that they allow up to 50
people in their screen-sharing feature
(temporarily upped from 10 in response to
the current situation).

23
6. See Who’s Listening and Who’s Not
It’s already hard enough to keep track of who’s participating in a regular
class, what more in an online class? Discord lets you know when
someone’s doing things outside the discussion through their status
message. It also gives you the ability to give direct feedback and interact
with your students anytime.

7. Minimal Data Usage

Since Discord’s a chat app, it doesn’t require too much data or high
internet speed for optimal performance. You can connect to audio calls
even with minimal internet speed and can eat up less than 60MB in about
3 hours.

 Online messaging can help young people to:
 appreciate different perspectives
 understand the difference between appropriate and
inappropriate behavior
 become more effective non-verbal communicators.

31
 Chatting with peers online can help young people to:
 discuss homework or ideas from school they didn’t
understand
 talk to a friend about something that’s happened at school
 develop and refine new or creative ideas.

32
 FEATURES OF CHAT
“ APPS:
WHY ARE THEY USED
SO FREQUENTLY?

33
Video, images, and a full media
experience. 
▸To convey more complex ideas, modern chat apps allow for media to be
merged and remixed to create unique messages to express one’s ideas.

34
Different media, different
meanings
▸ A message that may have one meaning in school may have an entirely
different meaning (or non-meaning) within a group of friends.

35
More media
choices open the
doors for using
analogy and
metaphor, or
references to
other cultural
objects that have
meaning.
36
Ephemerality
▸ You don’t have to worry
about how your words may
be taken later on down the
road, because there likely
won’t be any record of it.

37
Multi-platform
▸ The same
account can be
accessed on any
device
regardless of the
make.

38
Thinking
pedagogically
about chat
apps

39
 Access to messaging tools.
▸ Be aware of your students’ access to the base technologies you employ
before assigning work.

40
 Influence on group work.
▸ It is wise to test the waters and ask students about the apps they like to use to
avoid appearing clueless to students. It’s important to use apps with a
purpose in mind and not just because “it’s cool with the kids.

41
On-demand help and
differentiation.
▸Remember to set some guidelines on when responses should be expected
and what kinds of behavior are appropriate if chat apps are integrated into
class work.

42
Multimodal literacy development.
▸ Be helpful for developing strategies for developing other communication
skills in your students, such as creative writing, long-form writing,
communication through more business channels like email, and in-real-life
speech.

43
 Reminders and notifications
▸ Can help students stay organized and help teachers communicate regularly
with students.

44
Considering challenges with chat
apps.
▸ Using too many chat apps, or getting messages too frequently may lead to
anxiety, distraction, and not knowing how to handle quiet, disconnected
time.
▸ Bullying from classmates or internet strangers remains an issue when using
digital communications tools
▸ When using tools like chat apps, it’s a good opportunity to discuss how
permanent data storage and distribution can affect one’s life, and how data
can be easily duplicated in today’s apps even when you think it’s private

45
If you were to create an educational
messaging app, what features would the
app have??
▸ Work with your group.
▸ Conceptualize an educational messaging
app with your own creative features.
▸ Present your output with a given name
and logo.
