Goggle classroom is an additional tool for teaching and learning.



What did our teacher used as a teaching tool before? How they assigned assignments and how they manage to checked the students work? Do they have enough facilities like now? Surely, there will be big ‘NO’! First and foremost teaching tool they used was a chalkboard but now with the changing world, everything changed. Life style of people changed, everything became easier especially for the teachers there are lots of teaching tool including through online classes.

I have heard that in other country there is convenient teaching tool that they are using but till now I didn’t know what type of teaching tool is it. so, after reaching final semester, particularly the ICT in teaching and learning module, I came to know that Goggle classroom is one of the teaching tool and they are taking classes through online which is really convenient for both; teacher as well as for the students.  Goggle classroom is a free web service developed by goggle for schools that aim to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments in a paperless and it is especially developed for the teacher and students to share files and learn in better way.

Goggle classroom is an additional tool which will make teaching more productive, collaborative, and meaningful and most probably it is a tool where teacher can be applying in teaching. I learnt that Goggle worked across the country to create classroom especially for the teachers, it helps to manage coursework, able to create classes, distributes assignments, send students feedback and it is useful for students because they can retrieve the materials posted by the teachers, share their doubts on the discussion forum and they can be able to upload their assignments in paperless way without wasting much time.
  
I also understood that it is practically useful especially for the teachers and the students. With the goggle classroom we can work anywhere, anytime and on any device with access to internet. It makes work easier for both teacher and the students because we can sign in from any computer or mobile device to access class assignments, course materials, and feedback and teacher can give the work with instructions through online. Students can share their doubt through discussion forum created by the teachers whenever they get time which is really convenient for all. So, I can state that goggle classroom is one of the important additional tools in teaching and learning which I had learnt and where I can able to incorporate in my teaching and enhance the students learning.
