Wait! What just happen? A Reflection of our Google Apps

The five weeks of our Google Apps adventure are coming to a close, and it's been quite a ride!

Reflecting on each week's exploration of various applications, from the basics like Google Email - creating signature, Calendar - organizing your schedule, Task, and Keeps - making checklists and drawing in Week 1. To diving into collaborative tools like Google Docs - that encourage collaborative writing and editing of documents, allowing real-time feedback and fostering teamwork among students. Google Drive that saves all the files you can make in google, and Google Slides that utilize for interactive presentations, group projects, and creative assignments, promoting visual communication skills in Week 2. 

Week 3 brought us to discover the how to search pictures in Google Images. Foster data analysis skills by incorporating spreadsheets in Google Sheets, and design quizzes, surveys, or feedback forms to gather information from students in Google Forms. Followed by a virtual tour with Google Maps and Earth in Week 4. Lastly, in Week 5, we delved into the world of expressions through Google Blog and Sites. Working with this diverse array of applications has been both enlightening and exhilarating. I planned to continue to use Google Sheets, Forms, Docs, Slides, Drive, Sites, and hopefully this Blog in the classroom and personal use. I really want to be able to learn more about Google Blog to write more, read more (blog and books) and even earn. 

I hope that the next courses will also go as smoothly as this one!

I really enjoy creating the slides in google slides, brochure, posters, and digital contract in @Canva.
