Week 5- Review an innovative technological tool for education (Google Classroom).

Hi there!πŸ‘‹πŸ‘„

    πŸ’˜So for this time, I want to review an innovative technological tool for education which is google classroom. 

    
    From my point of view, google classroom enables students to access the document easily as the teachers can send the learning material before and after the class. This makes the classroom more interactive because the student can review all the learning material before the class begin and can easily study back if they missed up with any topic. The best part of these features is, they enable students to learn at their own pace. As now is an online learning and more to student-centered compare to before this more to teacher-centered. Every student can have their own time to study at their own pace as Google Classroom can be accessed anytime and doesn't need big data to access. Another best part is documented in Google Documents are stored on Google Drive and can be edited in Drive's apps such as Google Docs. The only thing that separates Google Classroom from the regular Google Drive experience is the teacher and student interface which is designed for students and teachers to work and think. I love this feature in Google classroom where teacher and student can still interact even not meet in the virtual. 

    Google Classroom is a free service for schools, non-profits, and anyone with a personal Google account. Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate, and stay organized. Furthermore, Classroom is easy for teachers which just required few minutes to set up and add their students directly or share a code with their class to join. This really saves time as simple as that and allows teachers to create, review and mark assignments quickly, all in one place as it is paperless. Classroom improves the organization as students can view their assignment on the assignment page and all class material is automatically filed into folders in Google Drive. 

    As I mentioned above, Google Classroom really benefits teachers and students in teaching and learning. Next, let's take a look at how to use Google Classroom for the beginner.  For first-time users, don't worry as I will guide you on how to step up.

    First, go to http://classroom.google.com/ then click the button "+" in the top right to create your first class and next you can add information about your class such as the name of your class. After that, students can start joining it. As for students, you need to enter the class code to join it. Here an example of where the code is.

So after your class is set up and students join, you have a fully functioning Google Classroom. Congratulations! 

This is where you can make an announcement for your students.

As for students, it is easy as you just open the Google Classroom to see what your teacher prepares for you. 

See ya! xoxo-Fatin
