I am familiar with google classroom, especially in the classroom I am in now. The teacher uses google classroom for all assignments for her third-grade students. It is easy to use and assign classwork and students know how to use it very well. When we were assigned view study.com and to take the quiz at the end, I had some difficulties accessing it. Study.com sometimes only let you see half of the video or the lesson transcript. To view the whole lesson and video you need to sign up, but even then you only get the free trial for 5 days. It also is pricey for a teacher to buy this. If the school was providing it then it would be great for the classroom. Other than that flaw, I think study.com is a great website for students to use. They can watch the videos before the lesson to gain knowledge about the topic before it is taught. It can also encourage them to write down questions they may have about it. It is also good to use during a lesson and after the lesson. It can be used by students of all ages. This website reminded me of BrainPOP, but I thought this was a little more informational. The lesson provides great videos and examples. The video I watched was the "Scientific Method Applied to Environmental Problems: Definitions, steps and Applications." The scientific method is very important in science and I have used it throughout my science career. All science begins with making an observation and asking questions. After watching the video which was not long, you are able to take a quiz at the end that is about the lesson you viewed. This is great for students because you can assess the students and see what they may need more help on or a lesson that needs to be taught again and more in-depth. I wish I had resources like this when I was in school that made learning more intriguing and fun. Many topics that can be seen as boring are brought to life by learning via video. This website can be used for all subjects, which is awesome. Technology is important to incorporate into the classroom and I see it in action every day and the students are loving it. The teacher is the only one in the school that uses Chromebooks for every assignment. The use of technology is great for all students and is an effective way to connect with students of all learning styles.
