Google classroom as a ICT tool
Firstly, Google classroom is a suite of online tools that allows teachers to set assignments, have work submitted by students, to mark and to return graded papers. It was created as a way to eliminate paper in classes and to make digital learning possible. There are some of the advantages and disadvantages of google classroom.
The advantages are;
-it is easy to use and it is accessible from any device.
-It has effective communication, commenting and sharing system which are very effective in providing feedbacks by teachers on students' works.
As for the disadvantages:
- each user need to have their own google account-
it is accessible only when there is internet connection.
As an activity, we made our own google classroom account considering ourselves to be a teacher and we chose a subject of our choice and class. We then invited our friends as students and two friends as co-teacher. We also posted the introduction of the subject we chose and weekly plan of the topics. looking at all the features as a future teacher, I think this can make the work of a teacher easy while conducting classroom through online.
When there was a covid pandemic, we had to attend classes through google classroom. We were assigned with home works, assignments and even asked doubts through the google classroom. It was indeed a very useful tool, We were able to continue classes even during the pandemic.
