Jung, Sung-yoon, Sim In High School
Google Classroom: A paperless, limitless learning-platform
Abstract
How is present society different from that of 100 years ago? Today's society has changed substantially; the vehicle of choice used to be the wagon, whereas now we have electric cars. But is the 21st century classroom really so different from those of 100 years ago? When one looks, very little seems to have changed, except for the presence of a large screen in either the corner or the front of the room. However, there have been substantial qualitative changes — with increasing frequency, teaching no longer starts on the blackboard with chalk. Instead, we have the sharing of platforms using technology. Of the many types of LMS available, Google Classroom stands out. Of course, it can be difficult for inexperienced or non-tech savvy teachers to know where to start. This presentation is for those teachers. This presentation will show attendees:
1) A real example of using a Google Classroom in a real classroom, and
2) The most practical and fastest way for you to use Google Classroom right away.
With these two things, teachers can fully appreciate and immediately use this digital online platform.
