I. INTRODUCTION
The tools utilized in learning processes are in a nonstop state of motion. One of the main
educational settings. This provides elective approaches to do learning activities, new learning
services, the possibility to use new kinds of contents and activities, etc. However, ICTs have not
given the same number of favourable circumstances as they expected to. Thus, there are
necessary to change. In this context, Web 2.0, offers an alternative method to understand the
Web, in which the user in the middle of it. Users can cooperate to characterize the contents.
Additionally, it applies this idea in technology-mediated learning, yet there are significant issues
when one attempts to incorporate such tools and concepts with existing systems. Thus, web 2.0
tools can be integrated into learning activities and their effect on the educational procedure.
Web 2.0 tools have changed the way people interact (Anderson, 2007) offering a wealth
of learning opportunities for students. Indeed, Web 2.0 which centres on the idea of collective
intelligence, changed the role of the World Wide Web; it is not only a way to bring information
anymore, rather it has been configured around activities of people. Typical features of Web 2.0
tools are the participatory characteristics, mutual contribution, content and resource sharing,
users’ active role and interaction resulting in the development of online social communities. In
that way, it seems that we are destined to be residents, and not visitors, with technologies (White,
2009).
Meanwhile, learning management system (LMS) is a software used to deliver, track and
manage training and education, for example, tracking attendance, deadlines for tasks, and student

progress. Educators can post announcements, grade assignments, review course activities, and
take part in class discussions. Students can submit their assignments, read and answer discussion
questions, and take quizzes. An LMS can allow allowed teachers, administrators, students, and
An LMS organizes content in one place for easy access and foolproof storage, among
other benefits. Learners can typically access it on desktops or their phones and tablets, and they
can make progress individually, at their own speed. This makes learning management systems
excellent for personalized learning, and they help with assessing student performance. Teachers
can more easily identify and support students who are struggling and let those who have already
For this question, I choose Google Classroom. For some experts, Google Classroom can
be considered as a learning management system (LMS) and web 2.0 tool. Google Classroom is a
free web service developed by Google for schools that aims to simplify creating, distributing,
and grading assignments. The sole purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of
sharing files between teachers and students and it is estimated between 40 to 100 million users
use Google Classroom around the world. In addition, Google describes Google Classroom as
"mission control for your classroom," and this might be the easiest way to think about it.

(LMS). An LMS can regularly be overwhelming, or a foreign language, to teachers. Many do
not have the opportunity to build their own website, however, they are keen on working digitally
in the classroom. Google Classroom is the solution. So, by utilizing this application, the teacher
provides an access code to students in the class, making this a private and secure website.
In this digital classroom, the educator will post current video or video recordings, links
and activities for students to connect with or complete their assignment or work. Students will
then participate in content discussions while the teacher observes and contributes input. As a
result, any task posted on the web will be created as a folder on each student's Google Drive
(digital notebook) with the appropriate task bearings and the due date.
Students and teachers alike are now easily coordinated, while assignment turn-in can be
achieved by clicking a button. The instructor may also easily give valuable feedback to the
student to focus on the assignment (such an overlooked and often impossible prospect at the
time-constrained classroom). This is just a surface-level look at Google Classroom, but the
possibilities are impressive and exciting. Students can do this from anywhere on any device,
while real learning, debate and collaboration can take place at any time. Simply put, it's a forum
that incorporates the Google G Suite tools for teachers and students. It also serves as a digital
organizer where teachers can store class materials and share them with students on paper. From
there you can pick the features that you want to add. This flexibility, and its seamless integration
with Google's common software, is likely to make Google Classroom one of today's most
This Learning Managemen System (LMS) can be integrated with other web 2.0 tools
such as Google Drive for upload and keep files such as Microsoft word, excel and powerpoint as
well as .pdf documents, YouTube for view videos by share link, and also Google Meet which

Create announcement
This section is used for announcing any kind of update about the class. You can
upload files, Google Drive, videos and web links as class materials as well.
Create assignment
This is the most important feature of Google Classroom. Here you can post an
assignment which students are to submit within due time. Similar to the
announcement section you can upload files, Google Drive, videos and web links.
Students can see their assignment in the class “Stream”. They can download the
materials and complete their assignments. On the top right, they will see three
boxes (Turn In, Comments, and Share). They have select “Turn In”. Then a
window will appear to ask them to confirm. They have to click on the blue box
labelled “Turn In” to confirm their submission. As a teacher, you will receive an
email notification of the submission of the assignment. You will be able to check
all the assignments and grade them. Finally, you can return the assignments with

Live Classes
This year, Google Classroom has a new feature that allows teachers to take real-
time classes remotely via Google Meet. Teachers can add up to 250 people to the
Hangout call, and about 1,000,000 people can live-stream. These meetings or
lectures can also be registered so that students who have missed a live session can

IV. JUSTIFICATION
Google Classroom indeed help teachers and myself a lot. Teachers can easily create
online classes to complement the other classes they conduct. They can share learning materials
with their students and they can view it and downloaded conveniently. In addition, educators can
create online assignments and also track students’ progress and performance in the assignments.
This application is easier to use for teachers. It is quick and convenient set up, easy to log
in, easy to receive and turn in assignments. Google Classroom’s design purposefully simplifies
the instructional interface and options used for delivering and tracking assignments;
communication with the entire course or individuals is also simplified through announcements,
email, and push notifications (Janzen, 2014). Apart from that, because everything is posted
online, Google Classroom gives students access to materials wherever they are. The days of
missing rubrics or worksheets are gone. Students who are missing can easily access classroom
resources from home if necessary – this can really help to save both you and your students a lot
of stress in the long run. In addition, this method can be accessed from all laptops, smart phones
and tablets.
No Lost Work
This LMS can save any materials by integrating to the web tool such as Google Drive. By
that, teachers and students cannot lose work if they don’t physically have it in their presence.
13
Since they are usually working in Google Drive, everything saves automatically and excuses
dwindle. With a few short lessons concerning how to properly use these online tools, students
can experience more success in getting organized (Crawford, 2015). Other than that, it also can
reuse assignments, tests or other course content in future classes as well as adding, share and
view content to assignments, such as video, PDFs, Google Docs or Google Forms. In addition,
teachers can also create assignments using learning materials such as YouTube videos, Google
Form surveys, or PDF drives. All students or individual students may be assigned assignments.
Teachers may either make an assignment or schedule an assignment for a specific day
immediately.
Paperless
Before this, all the classroom lesson educator had to plan the lesson and use papers for
notes and modules for learning and it is a waste of time and money for them (Keeler, 2014).
When used to run an entire class, Google Classroom can virtually get rid of paper consumption.
As long as students have access to the internet, all classwork can be handled online. This means
Today, many schools and colleges require students to take at least one online class during
a lesson for secondary-level students or the course of their work for college students.
Unfortunately, many students have never had any experience with online education. That is why
the educators really want to make sure to give the students as much exposure to it as possible at a
young age. Google Classroom is an easy way to help students with this transition because it is
14
super user-friendly, making it a great intro to technology. So, by exposing the online learning on
Google Classroom that it allows for streamlined feedback and online collaboration as well as
boosts the social learning aspect of online education, enabling learners to benefit from the
experience and skills of their peers (Janzen, 2014). In addition, it allows the teacher to design
digital team-based learning activities. Teachers should invite students to answer question-driven
discussions and to respond to classmates. Google Docs comments allow for a two-way debate, as
teachers can give feedback to students, which is a great way to keep students interested,
especially when you can't see them. Teachers can handle debates by deciding to silence some of
The Google Classroom itself is not inherently open to learners without admission to an
educational institution. But everyone can access all the other tools, such as Drive, Docs,
Spreadsheets, Slides, etc., simply by signing up for a Google account. Furthermore, Google
classroom is also designed to save time. It incorporates and automates the use of other Google
applications, including docs, slides and spreadsheets, and simplifies and streamlines the process
of managing document delivery, grading, formative evaluation, and input (Iftakhar, 2016).
To summarise, Google Classroom links educators with students, makes it simple to create
an online class and invite learners, enables educators to distribute assignments, facilitates
conversations between students and instructors, allows educators to review and grade
assignments, and enables students to view class materials, documents, and assignments in one
place.

QUESTION 2
YouTube is one of the web 2.0 tools that be used everyday by users around the world
which include teachers and students in the education sector. In short, YouTube is one of the most
popular services of Web2.0 on the internet, having tutorials for many subjects and hence widely
Other than that, YouTube is one of the most popular Web 2.0 online services. Tutorial
videos for a wide range of subjects and therefore frequently used by Teachers around the world.
According to Gayle (2013), YouTube has a large number of 'Web2.0' videos with a variety of
content, such as Web 2.0 Definition, Web 2.0 Tools, Web 2.0 Application, Web 2.0 Case Study,
etc., which are quite common among people as reflected in the Study. YouTube is also a strong
16
Users can subscribe/follow other YouTube channels and users
Educators can teach the students by creating a YouTube channel to educate them. After
creating it, educators will upload the teaching materials such as teaching videos on the channel.
Next, educators will advise or tell the students to subscribe to the educators’ channel to learn
more about the topics learn after school, tuition or even during online classes. YouTube is a part
of eLearning which give more benefits for educators and students to gain more knowledge. The
reasons are: -
Adding YouTube videos to the eLearning course is a quick thing, considering the variety
of writing resources and learning management systems out there. Educators may use
YouTube videos to introduce a subject, clarify an online activity, inspire your learners, or
Everyone has a voice on YouTube, as you've probably seen for yourself. Using it as a
social learning platform gives you the ability to create a powerful eLearning community
where everyone can comment, contribute and share their thoughts and ideas.
17
3. It generates and promotes online discussion.
E - learning videos are effective analyze facilitators. After viewing the video, teachers or
educators can encourage online discussion by asking students to add their personal views;
what did they like about the video? Was there anything they didn't understand about?
How did your eLearning video relate to your personal experiences and feelings? You can
ask them to share or subscribe to other YouTube video references in order to broaden
online discussions, as well as increase the level of interest and engagement by presenting
different opinions.
which describes how learners can access and view it anywhere and anywhere via their
smartphones, tablets and small laptops used in mobile learning. No matter how small the
computer screen is you can use YouTube as a forum to scan online video tools, post
videos ensures that complex procedures and demonstrations of specific skills are
because YouTube is available on all devices and allows your learners to watch longer
eLearning videos in short segments, your audience can watch videos whenever they like
and take their own time to absorb the information they offer.
18
6. It encourages the development of note-taking skills.
Note-taking skills are essential for both students and staff, as the ability to interpret
information and concentrate on important topics helps to cope with the abundance of
information in the modern world. Using YouTube videos as part of your eLearning
course will allow your audience to improve their note-taking skills by watching,
rewinding and replaying YouTube video content until they have completely grasped the
meaning and key points. You can even create online assignments based on this, for
instance by asking your learners to describe in a few words what they have just seen on a
Some topics can be difficult to describe. According to Gayle (2013), by using YouTube
as a virtual library to support your eLearning content, by providing your learners with
links to their images, you can better explain complex concepts, procedures and ideas.
Videos are perfect for demonstrating steps and, particularly in corporate training, walking

Short-term action:
Teacher posts videos and give students to comment on the topic lesson.
Long-term action

ensure that students finally understand the lesson of the topic.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Using YouTube in the classroom can be helpful for teachers and fun for students.
Students are often more engaged with visually stimulating activities and are more likely to
concentrate when watching videos rather than the teacher giving a lecture to the class.
Students love watching YouTube videos in their classroom, which often help improve
their listening comprehension and pronunciation skills as they imitate people talking in videos,
and teachers are able to spend more time concentrating on students instead of attempting to

First of all, I will have students decide on a subject that is of interest to them to ensure
that the video is engaging and attracts their attention. Before the lesson, it's best to review and
look for instructional short videos that are age and level relevant.
It is best to show the video a few times, to ensure everyone understands it with complex
vocabulary to be written on the board for students to take notes. Quiz sheets, which have been

prepared previously, can be handed out after the video has been played and students can work in
Motivation is one of the most significant factors in assessing the effectiveness of teaching
and learning in any specific subject of science. Film and TV, particularly among younger
learners, is an essential part of everyday life, and getting them to the classroom can increase
So, YouTube is just as beneficial for teachers as it provides them with variety and a range
of different teaching resources. Watching a short film, for example, can help follow up a debate,
