8. Mini reflection:
-Google slides can help share new digital resources and tools for learning by all the things
you can do with it! Today, I learned that I can use PearDeck to create interactive slides that
my students can use in order to see how they are doing. This gives me the opportunity to
make my lessons more interactive and engaging for the students.
-Google Classroom can help promote curiosity and critical examination by all the new things
that it can do. It is new, exciting and always changing. Students can interact with each other
and the teacher in order to see the assignments. It is a new tool that can help revolutionize
the way we run a classroom.

9. Benefits and Challenges
Benefits are that children are able to interactively learn in the classroom and be engaged in
the Google Slides using the interactiveness of the new add ons. Students are able to visually
see the material to get a better understanding of what they are learning.
The Challenges are that not every student may have access to a device, so accessing some
the things like Kahoot or PearDeck might be difficult. Some students may also like using
pencil in paper instead of using technology.
