Lesson on Google Classroom

               Lesson on Google Classroom

It was my first time getting exploration on Google Classroom and it was worth studying. I have seen my sister using google classroom when at village but i didn't care to explore on it. But i should say, as a future teacher and our country being expose to online learning, we should be equipped with such kinds of knowledge so that we can use it in any kind of situations. As we were all aware of the situation we are in, schools around the country was closed and google classroom is the main tool used for interaction between tutors and learners. I should say, the pandemic is a blessing in disguise since it helps our Bhutanese learners to explore more learning tools and pedagogues to  integrate ict tools in their teaching. 

We should posses an email Id in order to create Google classroom be it teacher or students. If we enter as an students, there are features that can help students to get exposed to notes provided by their teachers individually and it gives a platform where students can interact with other friends and teachers to clarify doubts. For teacher, it provides features to upload announcement, assignments, materials and quiz assignment. Different forms to upload the files and materials were given and we can link it the the google too. Grading, and marking features were also provided to grade students assignments and quiz automatically after having attempted by students. 

 Announcement i have made for my class in google classroom and promotional video on the topic Rotation of the Earth. 



Materials i have uploaded in google classroom on the topic rotation of the earth. 
1. PDF file 
2. Video 
3. link 

Quiz i have created for the class based on five questions. 
1. multiple choice questions
2. short answer questions
3. long answer questions
4. check boxes
5. drop down questions. 

I have opened a Google classroom using my university mail on the topic Rotation of the Earth from class four science. There i have made one announcement welcoming students to the session, post one assignment, materials and a quiz assignments to be done by my students. Learning with our tutor helps me to understand it better and was scaffold-ed when ever needed. 

Not only can we upload materials and assignments in google classroom, we can also upload videos(promotional video) to familiarize students with our session in a short period of time. This kind of features can help students to extract the notes and information faster as they don"t have to go through every notes since every students have different learning styles. 

3 minutes promotional video that i have made for class four students on the topic Rotation of the Earth in my google classroom. 

As a future teacher, i am going to use google classroom as a main tool to interact with my students and i would strongly recommend my friends to use this platform as it can give great opportunity for both learners and teachers to explore.
