Google class room

Teaching through Google class room is also a challenging work for the teachers. This is because teachers were not well equipped with the use of google classroom software and apps. 

Considering this, I attended 2 days online google classroom workshop given by ICT division of Education Ministry, Thimphu. With this knowledge of online workshop, I conducted the SBIP in the school. Most of the teachers were new to this use of online teaching using this apps. All the procedure and steps were followed to create the online teaching using google classroom. 

After that we were asked to form or create the google classroom from classes 4 to 6. Followed necessary steps to create and asked student and subjects teachers to join the Google classroom. Invitation were sent and well set for the google classroom.

As I am a class teacher of class VI, I informed the class wechat forum about the creation of Google classroom. Told them about the use of this apps . Even told them about the benefits of this apps. And have a password to all class student to log in the apps. 

Upon this creating and asking the invitation some of the students responded me they were not able to create and log in the google classroom. This is because they were more convenient in using wechat. Some of the student were unable do so because most of the times the phones are with their parents. Some parent even don’t have the smart phone to use while some even don’t have a penny to recharge their phone data.  So, looking on this pros and cons, I resolved my class to use wechat as the main means of teaching the student . 

Some of the pros and cons of Google classroom apps.

-Student can use write and submit their work using google documents.

-individual work of student were kept as confidential.

- assessment record can be done in time 

- can post and create other resources that are needed for student. 

- we can know every students participating in the class.
