Teaching in a pandemic with Google Classroom

Let’s face it y’all if it wasn’t for this pandemic who knows how long it would’ve taken us to use the resource Google classroom. As frustrating as it may have seemed for many parents at first Google classroom has been an Interactive innovative way for teachers to reach out to students even when they cannot see them. I truly believe that because of Google classroom my student did not fall behind. He did not miss out on that valuable time that was supposed to be spent in the classroom. Yes I realize on the computer is not as engaging as a teacher explaining things to you in person but hey being quarantined is not either. So I do believe that Google classroom has really improved the way children learn and will learn through times like this. I also believe that even in a normal school year when a child is sick and can’t be at school Google classroom will be an amazing way for that child to do homework and feel like they never even missed the day. Teaching for most everyone from now on will not be the same. "Normal" will be a word very few people know what is anymore.

    I love your reflection to talk about how we respond to this pandemic with the application of Google classroom, Brandi! Google Classroom is a valuable resource to have as a student, teacher, and parent. Classroom can be used for students to have easy access to their assignments, whether they lose their the hard copy, they have been absent, or they are one the road. Students can access this on most forms of technology, and are able to do their homework virtually anywhere.

The list of pros goes on but do they outweigh the list of cons? Now believe me when I say not everyone will agree with me or you but my opinion are that the cons are far worse than the pros. Do children even know how to speak to one another anymore? Do they ride their bikes do they jump on the trampoline do they play kick the can do they play tag did they play hide and seek? Do they go visit their grandparents just to say hello? On most of these questions for most kids not all the answer is no they do ...

3D Printing

3-D printing was an absolute turn of the century invention. Not only has 3-D printing become a large part of the medical world it is being implemented in all aspects of life. Believe it or not 3-D printing has actually been around since the 80s. It has just grown and improved over the years. 3-D printing is much like a regular ink printer but instead of using ink and being flat on a piece of paper, it prints 3-D technology with certain kinds of materials that are rather sturdy. Today in the medical field 3-D printing is used for huge things like re-creating a human organ! This is one of the reasons 3-D printing is so vital in the classroom.
