Tool #4

I created a document with a teammate to plan our Humanitarian Expo. We started a list of countries that had natural disasters. We tried the chat feature and found it very helpful to collaborate without a face to face meeting. I have used Google Docs with students this year. They have sent me their pieces of writing & I have sent them documents as well. They hardest thing for them was typing in my long email address. As our time becomes more & more packed with meetings and an endless "to do" list I could definitely see sharing our nine week newsletter with teammates for editing and collaborating. This would eliminate yet another meeting after school. Next year I will continue to use Google Docs for publishing student writing and I hope to venture into using forms more.I created a survey at the beginning of the year to get to know my students. It was very easy to do and share. Students had no problems accessing the form. I wish I could have used forms more often. My goal was create assessments, but I just never got around to creating them.
