As society continues to progress and utilize a wide range of technological tools, the ability to be proficient with various software and platforms will only become more important. Especially when entering the realm of education. This week we were introduced to multiple platforms that can aid us in education, especially when it comes to organizing, storing and sharing resources for teachers. I played around with Google Keep and Google Classroom. I like how both platforms are user-friendly and can all be accessed via an account log in (which I already have). To have the luxury to store various resources such as reporting, classwork and lesson plans is so handy. Keep has the ability to colour coordinate different sets of notes as well as keeping things very simple and user-friendly. I like how it syncs across different devices and is always accessible via a simple log-in. The platform also allows you to set reminders for important notes and share things instantly with other teachers or students. I have attached a video below of me playing around with Google Keep with some doodles but of course this would be much more handy with a tablet and magic pencil rather than the laptop I did it on. Google Classroom also provides the same level of handiness and user-friendly features. I had the fortune of being at Belmont Secondary for the Link2Practice Program last semester and many teachers utilized this platform. It was such a handy way to interact with students and colleagues for a shared learning space.
