As the session began for today’s lesson I became
more interested as I was sure that I was learning a lot from the ICT classes.
We were introduced to the Google Apps like Drive, google doc and google form.
After each introduction on the apps we were also left to explore on our own,
with support from the tutor and friends too. To be able to access to and use
these apps we needed an account in gmail. Some of ou friends did not have a
gmail account so they were asked to open one to make use of the apps. The
following are the google apps that we were taken through during the session.
1. Google
Drive
2. Google
Doc
3. Google
Form
1.
Google Drive
I
had some knowledge about this as we were asked to upload files and documents on
drive during our 10 day training under the Chigphen Rigphel Project. It is an
online drive. It can store documents online. We will be able to access all the
files and documents uploaded and saved at all times with an access to internet.
The files that are heavy can be uploaded on drive and then shared to our
friends.
2.
Google Doc
I
thought this is going to be complicated as I have never heard of it but as the
tutor took us through his presentation I found out that it was like working on
Microsoft word. We can create document, edit and share online. As google drive
we access to all documents that we created with an internet access.
3.
Google Form
This
app can be used to gather information of a survey in a faster and effective
way. We can create survey questionnaire online and then share it to our friends
or the stakeholders. The responses are automatically stored in google
spreadsheet which can be analyzed easily. It saves a lot of time and resources.
After
we are given all these information on google apps , we were then asked to work
on creating a questionnaire using form.
Critical Analysis of the topic
The
google apps were very important to us. Storing files and documents online can
be safe as there are fewer chances
of losing or damaging a file or else forgetting at home when needed. We can
produce the all the documents at any time if we have uploaded the file on drive
and with an access to internet.
Google
Doc, as said, is like working on Microsoft word, we can use this app to have a
question and answer session in higher grades to assess them at the end of the
chapter or the day’s lesson. We can also have activities like word building,
word search for English lessons. I have found this app a useful tool that can
be used in our class if we are provided the facilities.
Google
form is going to be very useful to collect data for conducting survey. I am
sure that this app will useful when I pursue my higher studies. I have seen my
friends pursuing higher studies conducting survey for researches. They print
their questionnaire as move from one place to the other to gather information.
Then at the end of the day some friends have such a handwriting that they are
not able to read. If we use google form then we can gather information at a
faster rate and whatever is written will be clear and readable. The responses
will be stored on spreadsheet making it easier for analysis. So I will
definitely benefit from whatever I have learnt during my residential school
As
a saying goes “Practice makes a man perfect” , so whatever I have learnt today
will be remembered and practiced in my day to day teaching and learning
process. I am also going to share all these information with my colleagues so
that they will also be benefited as I am. Lastly I would like to thank my
tutor for his support and guidance.
