Last but not least for today, we got signed up for our student Google accounts this week. Everyone finally got logged in, and we have begun the learning process of sharing files and using the word processor. The immediate advantage of this tool is that students will be able to work on their files here at school and also at home (in fact, anywhere they have an internet connection!) and not have to worry about saving files on USB thumb drives, etc. Of course, this means no can claim they forgot their work at home! Students will share their work with me, and that will hopefully cut down on the amount of paper we use, as I can read their work online. They will also be able to work on common documents with partners and groups. As we move forward, we will be using the Presentation tool, creating blogs, and getting into the mysterious realm of Glogs, Prezis, Animotos and Voice Threads. It's a whole new world out there, and I look forward to discovering it with the class!
Here's an updated link to log in to the Google accounts. It will also appear in the links box to your left.
