Google classroom is a platform that allows teachers to post assignments, test, quizzes, and all other school related activities. Many of the schools in the United States has switched to Google Classroom during the pandemic and the app is user-friendly. This is a user-friendly app because of the use of Google within our everyday lives. Google classroom can be used by anyone from K-12 but it is a reliable platform for high school students.

In my opinion I like to use Google Classroom because of the access it gives you to your students. As a high school PE/Health teacher, it allows us to give directions for all students that are present and not present on each day. This platform also allows the parents to check their child’s missing assignments, future assignments, and current grades. Lastly, Google Classroom gives you the access to place your Kahoot! and Quizlet lesson in your classroom for students to review in the future.
In an age characterized by digital innovation and educational technology, Kahoot has emerged as a game-changing platform, captivating the attention of both educators and students. As an educator with a passion for integrating technology into my classroom(Business/Marketing Education), I have been extremely interested in exploring how Kahoot can enhance the learning experience. In his blog post, we examine the involved uses of Kahoot in teaching PE/Health class, offering a critical analysis and constructive insights on how this app can be used effectively in his class. However, it is essential to use Kahoot carefully, keeping learning objectives at the front. As educators, we must continually adapt and innovate, leveraging technology like Kahoot to enhance the learning experiences of our students.
