14th October 2022 Friday
On the 14th of October, F.Y.B.ed of Gandhi Shikshan Bhavan had an online digital training program by Google conducted by Mr. Ankush Bhandari Sir. He taught us aspiring teachers how to create our own website using Google sites.
He explained step by step how to create a website, give it a name. He explained the various features available on platform such as inserting pictures and videos, changing themes and editing fonts.
He also showed how to make things more systematic by creating different pages on our website and using more advance features such ‘image carousel’ and ‘button’.
Mr. Ankush Bhandari went over all the features available on the left hand side of the platform. While he was explaining it, students were simultaneously practicing these features on their own laptops.
He taught us how to preview our work- to see how the website would look like to a viewer. Not only on the laptop but also on our phones and tablets. After students were satisfied with their creations, they published their work- after understanding the settings for publishing.
Mr. Ankush Bhandari then spoke about the importance of digital literacy in today’s world for teachers. He also elaborated the opportunities available to us through Google, especially as the demand for online teachers are increasing.
The session concluded with a short quiz to check participant’s understanding of the training, in which Antara Parasar Student of B.Ed. scored 100% marks and got the scholarship for 100% free Google Educator Certificate Course, post which certificates will be given to the participants.
Overall, it was an easy and informative session. It is surely a skill that will be very useful to digitally organize or showcase our work as future teachers.
