Assalamualaikum and hello everyone! We meet again on the fifth week of Computer in Education class. Today I felt much enthusiasm running through my blood as I was mentioned by Dr. Fariza that all of us will be given the opportunity to prepare our presentation slides based on each topic distributed. While the others might felt it is such a burden or another-assignment-to-come mood, I felt the other way around. It has been such a long time for me to do a presentation so I kind of missing the moment of me struggling to prepare different kinds of presentation back then during diploma.
Enough blabbering, let’s go to what I have learnt today. Dr. Fariza had a talk to be given next door so she just dropped by the class for a minute to explain about Google Drive. To be honest, I have been briefing about Google Drive previously but not to the point that I will do some task by using Google Drive. First thought that across my mind when Dr. Fariza told us that we will learn about Google Drive is “I AM DEAD”. This is because this Google Drive thingy doesn’t attract, even a glimpse of my attention during the diploma period. Nonetheless, it is a different feeling when I have understood this particular thing. I even felt amazed that Google provides Google Slides as similar as to Powerpoint Presentation so that people might use it for presentation purpose. A couple of hours before I wrote this, I have learnt that I must go to right side of my Gmail account and click on the buttons-like feature. At there, there were maps feature, news feature, calendar feature, youtube feature and so on that able to be connected only by login to my Gmail account. How amazing is that! One doesn’t have to click on different new pages to go to those features but just linked it on by using Gmail account.
After that, I just clicked on the Drive feature and I have been “driven” to the Drive page. As simply as click on NEW, I manage to create a new presentation slides there and share the slides with anyone that I wanted to including Dr. Fariza. I have found that Google Drive is much easier to be compared with Powerpoint Presentation as it auto-saved one’s presentation slides without have to worry that it will lose somewhere like all of us did by using Powerpoint Presentation. Besides that, one may edit the slides anywhere and anytime if it requires group presentation where the group members may put away pen drives to transfer the slides. This is because with internet connection, any Gmail account owners that had been shared with the slides may edit it without even meeting each other. Such a time saviour! The features there is more or less similarly like we have in Powerpoint Presentation thus first timer doesn’t have to worry as they able to do editing as simple as they have done previously but fit in more advanced way. I can say that Google Drive is so cool! I swear that I will be using it for my entire life time and teach the advantages of using it to my students in the future. Not to forget, I have prepared 10 benefits from using google drive below. Do check them out! That’s all from me for today’s class!
