This photo shows about the  google classroom created during our ICT class, where we first created the google classroom as an educator. I learnt how to post a question, quiz, videos and to upload other materials as well. I also invited my co-tutor and my students as well. I also assigned them task to complete. 

Reflection

In teaching and learning, communication between teachers and students is very important. One tool that is most helpful is Google classroom. It is easy to use and help teachers to share information, assignments and feedback with students. During school time, I used google classroom to read the uploaded materials, answer the quiz and to submit my work on time. I could learn on my own pace. Recently, I created a google classroom as an educator. In there, I can post lessons, give homework and share materials like videos and links. Students can comment and clarify their doubts as well. 

Google classrooms serve as a platform to communicate between teachers and students. Teachers can send announcements to the whole class. This will help the students to keep inform about class updates, reminders, deadlines without the need to send individually. Students can also comment on posts and ask questions. Teachers and students can reply, creating a safe space for interactive learning and discussion. Students can send private comments to the teacher if they need help or if they are not able to ask in front of other classmate. After submitting work, teacher can give feedback. This involves two-way communication helping students feel supported and improve. 

Google classroom teaches students how to communicate responsibly. Especially while commenting, replying feedback and asking doubts. Students learn to express respectfully as same as they would do in a real classroom setting. Google classroom stores all the information such as assignments, deadlines, feedback and announcements that is always accessible to the students. It also reminds students about the due date and make sure to submit their work on time.  Students can see other's questions as well and teacher responses in the stream or class comments section. This creates a shared space for learning. Thereby helping students to learn from each other ideas. 

I personally feel that google classroom serve as greatest learning platform. In situations like school closure, Google classroom act as a tool for communication. It helps ensures that learning, feedback and instructions can continue without interruption. During Covid-19 lockdown, I used google classroom to learn my lesson. My teacher used to share recorded lessons, hold discussions, post quiz, give updates and maintain student engagement. Communication and learning never stopped even during lock down times. Therefore, google classroom is not only a tool for posting and submitting work. It's a two-way communication that build understanding, provide support and help ensures that every learner feels connected.
