BOLT-101 Module 3

I tried out the Quizlet tech tool. I tried making some flashcards about Potential and Kinetic Energy concepts. Overall, I found the process fairly intuitive and quick, but I didn't see much value in the activity. Making flashcards for students might work well for rote memorization, but this class is more about learning how to apply concepts and solve problems. For example, my first test was open book and open notes, so memorization wasn't important. Furthermore, I couldn't find out how to write formulas in the simple text box that you are given, which pretty much killed it for me. In a Physics class, that's what the flashcards would be all about, if you did want to make them. I went down the rabbit hole a bit after the initial flashcard development, though. I eventually ended up at google classroom, which I had never seen before. I use google tools a lot in my daily work, research, and personal routines, so I was excited about this site and its potential. I liked its simplicity, and I quickly set up a quiz with a few basic questions. However, I soon found that it was too simple to do some of the things I would have liked it to do, such as embed simulations or lecture slides. I wonder if anyone else in this BOLT-101 class has any experience with Google Classroom?
