PEMANFAATAN, KELEBIHAN, DAN KEKURANGAN GOOGLE CLASSROOM DI SMP DEK



PEMANFAATAN, KELEBIHAN, DAN KEKURANGAN GOOGLE CLASSROOM DI SMP DEK

Di SMP DEK tahun 2015 ini, sudah berlaku google classroom. Google classroom adalah aplikasi google terbaru yang berlaku di SMP DEK. Setiap siswa diberi akun gratis untuk masuk dan menggunakannya. Saya dari siswa SMP DEK akan menjelaskan cara menggunakan, kelebihan, dan kekurangan google classroom.

Sebelum saya mulai, para guru telah menerangkan bagaimana cara menggunakan aplikasi ini.

Google classroom ini banyak gunanya. Salah satunya adalah memudahkan kita untuk membuat tugas dari guru. Sebelum ada google classroom, kita masih membuat tugas dengan pena ataupun pensil. Pasti kita kalau buat tugas (sebelum ada google classroom) ribet dan capek. Namun sekarang ada google classroom ini



Gambar diatas merupakan tampilan dari google classroom. 

Dalam aplikasi ini, kita bisa membuat tugas dirumah maupun disekokah. Tetapi aplikasi ini juga memiliki batas waktu tertentu. Siswa juga bisa diajarkan disiplin.




Itu adalah teman-teman sekelas kita yang sudah gabung di kelas (sebenarnya masih banyak)


Itu tugas dari salah satu guru saya.



Sekarag saya akan membahas inti kelebihan google classroom :
1. Kita tidak perlu lagi membuat tugas di buku
2. Kita bisa dilatih disiplin
3. Kita hanya membawa smartphone atau laptop (pada pelajaran tertentu)

Kekurangan :
1. Siswa terlalu asyik bermain dengan internet ketika selesai mengerjakan tugas tersebut
2. Seharusnya sekolah menyediakan wifi gratis. Jika ada siswa yang mempunyai laptop, dan dia tidak mempunyai smartphone untuk menghidupkan hotspotnya, itu akan bermasalah.
3. Guru terlalu asyik memberikan tugas sehingga lupa untuk menerangkan pelajaran nya tersebut
4. Siswa bisa mencopy paste maupun mencari di google.

Itulah pembahasan tentang google classroom....
Semoga kalian bisa memanfaatknnya dengan baik...

"The hen will lay eggs, they'll hatch and then I'll have many chicks to be raised. I'll feed them well and when they're grown, they will lay eggs. And those eggs will hatch and I will have more hens that will lay more eggs that will hatch into chicks.
I'll be rich and I'll wear fine clothes with emeralds and rubies from my collar to my toes and one day perhaps I shall visit the Queen. I shall bring her rare gifts from China. I'll enter the court with my arms full of treasure. When I bow low to the queen, I shall say, "For your majesty's pleasure!"
And she bowed low. With that sweep of her arm, she knocked off the bucket and spilled her fantasy load.
"Oh dear," she cried, "My dreams are splattered in puddles of milk on the road."
