Reflection on the usage of Google classroom as communicative tools

Till this date I was not aware of what is mean by the word Google classroom. I did not know its purposes and usage though heard. I thought it is a blog or social forum where the learner and educators get teaching and learning materials that is instructional material related to specific field. But it was not the way I thought. However, I came to understand the significance of Google classroom only after attending this valuable module.

 

Goggle classroom is additional tools which will make teaching more productive, collaborative, and meaningful.  Most probably it is a tool where teacher can be applying in teaching through online service. I learnt that Goggle worked across the country to create classroom especially for the teachers, it helps to manage coursework, able to create classes, distributes assignments, and sending students’ feedback. Moreover, it is useful for students as they can retrieve the materials posted by the teachers, share their doubts on the discussion forum and they can be able to upload their assignments in paperless way without wasting much time.

Sometimes this can be disadvantageous owing to the required internet access. We are aware that most of the rural school are inaccessible to internet and do not have enough desktops. In this case, it is unreliable to use Google classroom.Still then it depends on how smartly you can plan to use Google classroom.

I personally feel that it is as similar to VLE discussion but only difference that I saw is in VLE the students should be more active and work more. Conversely in Google classroom teacher should be active throughout the course and let student to do few works but that’s also to discuss, do assign works and doing projects.

 

While creating a Google Classroom, I have learned that we should organize our 

thoughts; should give the code to students if we want our students to join the classroom and the most of all is we teacher should post the materials that is very academic. Teacher should take extra effort to give time for the student and help all the students to reach at individual need.
