Tool #4

Ok this Google Doc thing is AWESOME! One way I KNOW we will use it next year is to create our weekly newletter. I can't tell you how many emails go back and forth to add birthdays and update what we are doing for the week. I created a newsletter already and this way all of my team can enter infor from the leisure of their own computers! This will save time and make collaboration much easier! I can also see kids typing poems and me being able to comment and look/grade form home! So nice! The google reader is also really neat because I can look at all of my blog updates in one location as well as my google docs. I can't believe how much I am learning!

  1. I think you'll find lots of ways to use in the classroom with your students! Think about revising and editing collaboratively! You already have a district Google Apps account and your students will in the fall!

    Ps- Your little blessings are so cute!

  2. WOW...our students will have google apps accounts as well?! You don't know how much I was wishing that they all had accounts so they could access the purple martin blog! Will the apps account allow them to do this?! Thanks for your comments...as I learned through this class, it is fun to have peole read and show interest in what you post. :)

  4. I have already checked out your Purple Martin Blog! Great! The students get gmail accounts and that would enable them to access the blogs. They would also be able to collaborate with other students!
