Thing #20-Google Docs

19 Jul

I have never used Google Docs until today and I think it’s going to take some getting used to.  I really liked working with a wiki, and I feel that this is just another way to do the same thing.  But, I also feel that with more experience, I will learn to enjoy it and be able to visualize more ways to use it in the classroom.

First, I developed a slide show titled “All About Mrs. Rinestine.”  This is just the first few slides in a presentation that I plan on sharing with students once school starts.  Next, I started a to do list that I can share with my friend and colleague, Mrs. Massey.  She and I team teach together and have been friends for 25 years.  I think we will each add new things to the list as the start of school nears.  We can hold each other accountable and collaboration is always a good thing!  :-)

I think that I can use Google Docs in my classroom in many ways.  I can use it to show students information in a different way.  I also can assign them to collaborate with me on certain items.  This will help them practice using Google Docs as well as practice working with others.
