The introduction of Google Apps in the Education under the Teaching and Learning has been implemented by me since last two years. The preliminary observations found that teachers are not fully utilizing these tools and Apps in their teaching. A survey was conducted to study the barriers preventing the integration and adoption of Google Educational tools in teaching.
There were Six major barriers identified:
- Lack of time in the school schedule for project involving Google for Education
- Insufficient teacher training opportunities for handling of Google Apps
- Inadequate technical support for these tools and its operation,
- Lack of knowledge about ways to integrate Google Apps to enhance the Curriculum,
- And unavailability of resources and Internet facility at School and at Home
- Mentoring and Guidance Support system failure
Findings:
§12 % teachers had received computer training during 2009-2010.
§65% said that they had not received training on how to integrate Google technology into teaching.
§12% of them responded that they had integrated ICT tools into specific areas of instructional units and 5% stated that they had fully integrated it into their teaching.
Since last many years teachers and students has experienced several training and orientation course at different platform but even today they are not capable to use or integrate Google technology in their teaching process for effective and interactive class environment.
It has been observed the quality of teaching and the contents are not at par and therefore it has been emerged as a threat for the teachers if they will not acquainted with educational software or Tools.
