Using Google classroom as situating tool

Situating tool is a system that lay the students in the environment where it involves a context and the occurrence of a situation. Similarly, in Google classroom, we are situating the learners in a context similar to that of a real classroom.  Under situating tool I have learned about creating google classroom. I chose a topic from primary curriculum and created a google classroom. Initially I had no idea about how to create google classroom, but with guidance from my tutor and exploring on it, I could come up with one.  We can upload materials and videos, assign task, quiz and add link. I must say the time and energy I spend there was worth it.

Its implications in education: 

Having learned about it, I realized that Google classroom plays a very crucial role especially during national emergency (like the current situation, Covid 19) since it can be accessed from any computer via google chrome or from any mobile device regardless of where one is. As a future teacher, it is imperative that we must make use of such tools since it allows the students to access the materials anytime, anywhere. It also exposes students to an online learning system which now becoming a focus in the 21st century. It also enhances communication between  teachers, parents and children. There might be some students who are introvert and reluctant to ask their doubts in the real classroom, but use of such tool might encourage the introvert ones to raise their issue unlike the real classroom. On the other hand parents may also take part in their children's learning, enquiring about their children's learning. Techers will provide feedback on their work respectively. They can also communicate with parents through emails or through classroom email  about the assignments and  due date without having to meet literally. This saves time and energy. Google classroom can also be used by school faculties to make important announcement, minutes of meeting, etc...Hence, owing to these advantages, it is very crucial for us as a future teachers to make best use of the google classroom.
