Google classroom as situating Tool

From different situating tools, I learnt a lot about Google classroom after doing the activity.

The activity on creating Google classroom benefited me as follows:

1. I knew that to create or join the google class, one should have a google account. Although I have        google account, I did not have any idea about creating google classroom before doing this activity.   Thus, this activity enriched me with new knowledge.

2. I knew that it is not necessary for every individual subject has to have different google classroom as we can invite co-tutor and have more than one teacher in one classroom.We can create different class for different subject if we want.

3. I gained the idea of inviting students, getting class code, uploading assignments and different materials.

For me, the most interesting feature in google classroom was creating 'quiz assignment', which is found under 'class work.' It boosted my interest in using google classroom as I got to explore many features like creating rubrics, setting different types of questions, and scheduling the quiz.

After making quiz assignment, I knew that online survey forms are also created online using google form. That was additional knowledge for me.

On the other hand, the most challenging part of the activity was making promotional video. In the first place, I could not comprehend what is promotional video, then I had difficulty with writing the script for the video. In additional, the biggest challenge that I faced was facing the camera and recording.

However, with the repeated practice and hard work I was able to make one (The video that is uploaded below). Making of this video lead me to gain video making skills.

In a nutshell, the lesson on ICT as situating tool and the activities fostered my creativity and visualization skills.
