End of Course Reflection- Google Applications


 

Joining the Edtech Cohort 12 Training might have to be one of the best decisions I made so far this year. I was hesitant at first because it seemed like a challenging course, but it's really more of a hands-on and informative kind of training. Throughout the five weeks of learning about Google Applications, I got to learn the basics of using Google Calendar, Keeps & Tasks, Gmail, Docs, Drive, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Image Search, Maps, Earth, and now ending it with Sites and Blogger. 

Most of theses Google Applications have been apps that I've been using when I was going to school, but now is something I use on a daily basis at work. Google Keeps and Tasks were apps that I didn't use, only because I didn't have any knowledge of its use or purpose. Now that I know they are both used to set reminders and keep you in check with any tasks that need to be done, I find it to be important and useful. I also like how it can be linked to any device I plan to use, as long as I am logged into my Gmail account. Lastly, I like how we can see and share files in real-time, it makes it easier to work and collaborate with one another when we can all see the same information.

In my workplace, I use Google Apps to collect useful data, for example when I need to track family goals, I would use Google Sheets, so I can better see how I can provide resources to my families. Or I when I need to track health documents to remind parents of when they need to update them. We would use Google Slide to create presentations for our parent meetings that's held every other month. And most importantly, Google Docs, which is one of the main apps that I use to create resources for my families as well sharing documents with my colleagues.

One Google App that I would like to learn more about would be Google Classroom. Although it wasn't an app that we got to learn about or an app that I use in my workplace, but I would still like to have some basic knowledge of it so I'm able to help those who aren't familiar with the app.

Importance of Taking Care of Your Mental Health

  "It is during our darkest moments that we must see the light"                              -Aristotle   Mental health can affect the way we think, feel, and act. It also determines how we handle stress and how we relate to others. Since our mental health can affect our body in many ways, it is best to make sure we take the time to maintain it by doing self-care or other activities that could improve our mental health. Aside from that, it empowers us to build meaningful relationships, navigate challenges, and make proper decisions.  Not only does maintaining our mental health improve our daily functioning within ourselves, but it also helps us control or get through some of the physical health problems that are directly linked to mental health conditions, such as stress and heart disease. Other benefits of taking care of our mental health includes reducing our anxiety, creating a sense of inner peace, thinking more clearly, increasing our self-esteem, or even improving our
