We visited Rutherford House School to present our main projects to the teachers there. Our project was using Google Classroom to create resources for teachers. Google classroom was something new to teachers. They had never used Google classroom and after using it found many drawbacks and positives. The first drawback being very time consuming to implement lessons and the second one being the difficulty in using Google Classroom. Some of positives included being able to access all the information in one place and being able to reuse the information again for the following years.
The teachers provided constructive feedback. They found the presentations provided a lot of useful information, however, was not very interactive. The teachers had suggested to include interactive quizzes made on Kahoot. They also suggested including a instructions on how to use Google classroom. Furthermore, they loved the activities however the activities were not very inclusive for all children. They suggested using voice recordings as a means of providing answers for homework questions and providing pupils with more videos.
Overall, they had loved the Google Classroom we created. Moving forward we will ensure we add more videos and games to our VLE as at the moment it is quite text heavy and would not be appropriate for the younger years.
Do you think some of the teachers would actually use our Google-Classrooms. I think that without support from us they would be easily forgotten and never utilized properly.
