Description
As a GILT513 course assignment, I set up a Google Classroom that discusses the extraordinary military history of Philadelphia. This project was used as a part of my Integrated Thematic Unit project.
Reflection
I enjoyed developing a course about the extraordinary military history of Philadelphia using Google Classroom. I like that the whole class can interact together and that as a teacher I had control to prompt a discussion, post documents or write a communication. I would use Google Classroom for every workshop I deliver, but unfortunately where I work all Google tools are blocked. I learned that Google Chrome would be a great platform to use in conjunction with delivering a virtual training session.
