What about Google Classroom?



Information and communication technology is one of the prominent tools that has been making a profound alteration in the lives of people, especially it is truly been apparent tools that assist the teachers to follow the pathway of effective teaching through ICT. It provides the teacher with comprehensible means to teach a particular concept or anything. The teacher can use the ICT application like the facebook page for the discussion, youtube link to remind the students to explore the concept and google classroom, etc.

From the various tools the teacher implement and the topics that we have been learning this semester, I found that google classroom as the most efficient tools for the teaching. I could comprehend that it is similar to the virtual learning environment(VLE) that the college use for many purposes. The lecturers upload the notes, assignments and anything related to the course and the related authorities make an announcement for any kinds of program. Four years of life in the college by using VLE gives me an idea that google classroom would really be an effective tool for teaching and learning.


Looking back to the times of my teacher in the school, due to the lack of facilities the materials for the teaching were only the textbooks, green board, and the chalk. But now, the time has changed, the facilities are enhancing by every minute and we are being exposed to various ICT facilities now and then. I think that we as a teacher can make efficient use of ICT as an additional tool for teaching and learning. From all, google classroom can be used as a tool to upload the notes, create a discussion forum so that students can discuss outside the classroom. It can truly be constructive and informative tools for children’s learning.

Albeit of the advantages of google classroom for learning, I think it could be an issue if all the students in the classroom do not own the phone or computer and it can also be a financially challenging for both teachers and students. It can also be an issue if the teacher anticipates adopting google classroom and if the school lack enough computer. But, if I I get privellege to implement if possible, I am absolutely competent that I can apply it.
