The EdTech Thoughts (T.T.T)

MONTREAL, CANADA - OCTOBER 4, 2018: Google Classroom on s8 screen. The service is a free web tool developed for schools . Google is a technology company which provides a variety of internet services.

Google Classroom is a tool that I want to share from a parent point of view. Google Classroom is a resource that is essential for students, teachers and parents. Google Classroom is an online service website and can be downloaded to the computer as an app. A pro about using google classroom is that if a student doesn’t have access to the equipment for example a computer, internet or hot spot the school can give the students family the essentials needed to perform well in their classrooms.

Google Classroom can help students view their homework, view submitted assignments, view missing assignments, and communicates with the teachers and students instantly. It also helps teachers view what students have turn in. It gives feedback to students, helps teachers creates and manage assignments and can be stream by using a link. This can start a video meeting, post announcements, or start different discussions. As a parent I got the opportunity to view how it works from the students end and how it helps me as a parent keep track on what my child was doing; it also helped my child become a more organized student. I was able to download the app to my mobile deceive which was a great because it allowed my child to do homework from anywhere. With google classroom my child was able to use all the applications for example, google docs, slides, chat, forms, meet drive, and emails. I believe google classroom is a great tool that elementary schools are using for online school, because it helps students, teachers and parents see their student and children process on their assignments.
