Reflections on Google Classroom


    There are many ways to implement google classroom as a teacher. As a teacher, I plan to implement google classroom as a way to assign lessons, homework, and quizzes. It's efficient to be able to put all of these assignments into one area for students to access when needed. Also, I can use google classroom to post updates about the class. As a student, you can use google classroom to keep updated on the class and do assignments assigned by the teacher. Also, you can use the classroom to communicate with your teacher. Students may also be able to use google classroom to share work with each other during group projects so they don't have to be in person together if something like COVID-19 ever happens again. As a parent google classroom would be a beneficial tool for them to keep up with what their student is doing in class. In a technology-based era, some young students will struggle with being able to keep up on their assignments or struggle with some of the technological tools. Google classroom would allow their parents to also see what is going on in the classroom and offer support where needed. The benefits to google classroom are limitless as far as I can see. It cuts down on the constantly having to search for the video you found the night before as you can simply add it to this week's assignments. The little bit I've messed with google classroom I can see how efficient it has been. Assigning work for this class was a breeze and to me the longest part of the assignment was creating the quiz by hand; other than that this assignment of assigning a video took little to no time at all! I believe google classroom will be something I implement in my future teaching career, or to help formulate lesson plans for the rest of my education classes. This has been a very effective tool that I've enjoyed using thus far.

Questions Over the Articles

 TPACK: If we lag so far behind in the integration of technology, what else have we let slip by the wayside as well?  Are schools lacking funding the reason they lack behind in integrating technology? Does part of the lack of integrating technology come from the resistance of teachers unwilling to change their ways? If we keep going this way with technology on the rise in classrooms, (meaning the implementation of technology-based classrooms) would an instance such as a power outage throw off teachers? (when we finally switched to laptops we lost power due to a snowstorm, we got to go home early because we had no access to the internet). Teaching and Technology: If we begin to focus so much on implementing technology into our classrooms, will we start neglecting social skills as a result? Will this implementation of technology take away from student's group work in a sense? Regarding the first paragraph in the technological myths, if we bring up technology without a balance an...

Reflection on Khan Academy

      Being on both sides of Khan Academy as a student previously and currently learning to use the site as a teacher, I begin to understand the helpfulness of it. Starting Khan Academy as a student was a nightmare when we had it. There were a couple major problems that we ran into, one being the teacher I had and his philosophy on the site; the second problem being with Khan Academy, it would only allow us to do so many problems before it timed us out and stopped our progress. We essentially could only do one section per day of the week, and if you missed too many problems and didn't pass that section, it threw off the whole week's schedule. It really stressed us as students out having to stay up waiting for the timer to run out so we could do the next assignment. I remember staying up until times between 12 A.M- 4. A.M. just trying to get back on track. Often times getting in trouble with my parents and creating a conflict within the household simply trying to do h...
