Overview of Google Creations:

As the COVID-19 pandemic brought us to a new way of living, individual lifestyle practices were not the only practices affected, but our overall learning system. As schools and institutions made their transition to virtual learning, teachings and students had to do the same. Unlike face-to-face interactions, virtual learning requires a different set of engagement and accessibility strategies for learners.

The Google classrooms allowed for a virtual replication of the in-person classroom. Regardless of grade level or teaching experience, each classroom (slides) was constructed to reflect the teacher’s personality and passion for the subject to cultivate the synergy of an in-person classroom in a virtual setting.
