7. Mini-Reflection
Google Slides can help share new digital resources and tools for learning because there
is access to a ton of information. Through Google Slides a teacher can share
information, post podcasts, videos, share links to different videos or writing, etc.
Google Classroom can help promote curiosity and critical examination because the
children can immediately review feedback. The students are provided with an
opportunity to reflect immediately. There are benefits and challenges of using
presentation platforms like Google Slides. Some benefits include the ability to clearly
present information and utilize all different tools on the Google Slides platform.
However, there are some challenges with presenting through Google Slides in regard
to access to the audience ability to respond.
Editor's Notes
Integrating STEM into the classroom is crucial for students learning and understanding. Students can benefit greatly from learning about STEM and relating it to real world practices. STEM activities and integration often get overlooked so creating program ideas and encouraging the integration of science, technology, engineering, and math in the classroom can impact student’s knowledge.
