Tool 4

Tool 4- Moving Up to the Clouds

I loved learning about the google apps! I've worked a lot with google docs this year and it has been very helpful in the classroom. I use google docs more with my students, than I do with my team. I actually brought my class down to the library for a couple of different lessons to get my students started on google docs and it has been a great success in the classroom! It has been such a fabulous way to incorporate technology into a lesson. The first lesson I did with google docs was in Science. We were learning about the water cycle and they had to write a story from the perspective of a droplet of water and their journey through the three main stages of the water cycle. We spent a lot of time in the computer lab typing up their stories and then they shared their document with me through google docs. It was so much easier than having everyone print their paper individually! Now I have students share assignments they typed up at home with me all the time and it's great because I can instantly view the document and give them immediate feedback. I look forward to further exploring the different google apps to see how I can implement them in my classroom!
