Samantha Aileen Chu Cheng's Google Slides - Internet Tools # 1

-

 


    Google Slides is one of the internet tools lifesavers for online teaching. During the pandemic, teachers worldwide had to find online tools that they would be using to continue teaching their lessons. I used Google Slides to assign assignments, and I also used it to create my presentations. Google Slides had many benefits, such as editing the presentation from anywhere I am since it is all found in Google Drive. I love how flexible this online tool is because when I am on the go, I can continue working, which allows me not to slow down when it comes to completing my requirements. 


    As I searched through various tutorials on Google Slides, I saw how it could be used for the students' assignments. I like how it can be interactive for the kids, and when I did use Google Slides, I had a lot of feedback from my student's parents that their kids loved how they could interact with the material we were using in class. I also noticed the level of interaction that my students had when it came to the assignments using Google Slides. When I assigned my students' pen and paper assignments, they tended to not submit them compared to the assignments done through Google Slides, and when I asked them why they chose those assignments over the pen and paper assignments, they said that it was more fun.


    Overall, I like using Google Slides as an Internet Tool and Resource for my students and myself. I saw the benefits of using this platform, and I see myself continuing to use this tool in the future. My favorite part of this platform would be that all of my files created through Google Slides are all saved in my Google Drive, which is why I will continue to advocate for this Internet Tool and Resource.

  For an intercession class, the number of assignments was what I expected. I was worried with both the number of assignments and the time frame of the class. I did end up panicking a bit, but as soon as I organized the assignments, I noticed that the assignments were not as overwhelming as I thought. The very first thing that I learned from this class is that a different perspective will help. In this case, when I listed down the assignments and categorized them into forums and assignments with due dates, I was able to calm down. Seeing the assignments lined up, I was able to finish and submit them on a timely manner. The aim of the class was to learn strategies and resources to teach with the internet. The aim was reached, and I gained valuable knowledge and information on internet tools and resources. Despite the workload, I enjoyed working on them and I wished there was more. The Geo-Narrative assignment was something entirely new to me. I thought Google Earth was the same as Goo

       Google Classroom was the platform that the Guam Department of Education chose to use for our online classes. I found it easy to use and understand for both teachers and students, especially when it had to be done with no training when the pandemic hit us. Google Classroom was easy to use because all students and teachers had a Google account through the department. Teachers were able to assign assignments through various Google platforms such as Google Slides, Google Docs, and Google Meet. I liked how Google Classroom can put all the different resources into one LMS for the students and teachers to use.       Google Classroom has a lot of functions, such as being able to grade the students' assignments on the spot, and I liked how the students were able to download the application to access their assignments, whether it is through their phones, tablets, or laptops. I also enjoyed how Google Classroom allows the students to discuss the topics I posted, so our class had its fo

     Moby Max (https://www.mobymax.com/) is a K-8 learning website for all major subjects such as Math, Literacy, Science, and Social Studies. Students will be taking a diagnostic test for teachers to understand what level they are in, and it guides the teachers on how to differentiate the lessons for the students. Moby Max also has over 60 curriculum, assessments, practice modules, and subjects for the teachers to use. This program also actively engages the students with what they are learning, and it allows them to stay at their own pace with the assignments they are completing. It also gives the teachers the data when they are progress monitoring the student. Teachers can also customize the test prep questions and lessons to fit what they are learning in class.       There are schools from the Guam Department of Education piloting the Moby Max program at their schools. Unfortunately, the school I am teaching in is currently not using this program. As I spoke to the other teachers at
