ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my teacher, M/s Keemti Gaur, as well as our principal, M/s Niranajana Soperna, of Institute of Vocational Studies who gave me the golden opportunity for being a part of the Critical Understanding of ICT and did this wonderful project on Social Networking Platform, which also helped me in doing a lot of Research and observation and I came to know about so many new things. I am really thankful to them.

GOOGLE GROUP

Google Groups is a free, online service that helps groups of people easily share information and communicate effectively. Groups are public or private places where members share fi les, post ideas, and conduct discussions via email. All emails sent to the group are archived for future reference and are easily searchable.

Ø Students can use Google Groups to:

• Share ideas, store documents, and organize web resources as they work in project teams.

 • Create a private group for school clubs or sports teams to share the latest news and announcements.

Ø Teachers can use Google Groups to:

• Make class hand outs, reading materials, assignments, and web links available to students and their parents.

• Send email announcements to parents.

• Centralize resources and communication for professional learning communities.

              

         

          

GOOGLE GROUP INSTRUCTIONAL IDEA IN SCHOOLS

Ø In Primary Schools

Set up a parent-child book club using Google Groups. Students and parents read the book together at home and then respond to the discussion questions you post to the group.

Ø In Middle School

Create an online study group. Each day assign one student to post class notes as a new page in the Group. Then ask students to respond to reflection or review questions in the discussion area.

Ø High School

As part of a career-exploration project, have students join a publicly available Group related to their field of interest. After reading through the discussion archives, have each student post appropriate career questions to the group.

Example of a Google group Discussion

Use Google Groups to help students develop arguments for persuasive essays and speeches. The teacher creates a different discussion thread for each topic being debated in class, such as illegal immigration or the death penalty. Students post their opinions on assigned topics and include at least two links to web resources (news articles, video clips, etc.) that support their arguments. Each student is asked to respond to three other student messages with their own arguments (and links) for or against the issue. Once completed, students have a wide variety of opinions and resources to draw from before writing a persuasive essay or giving a formal presentation.

COLLEGE GOOGLE GROUP

In B.Ed. we all were told to be part of a Google group due to which we have created a group that is IVS B.Ed. 2016 Section A. In this group there are 18 students. Here we all submit are assignments and also exchange notes. The purpose of this group was to teach us how to use Google group in future while teaching.
