Day 1: Whatchu' gonna do with Google?
We've spent a lot of time today learning about Google. We covered mail, calendar, and docs...and there is more to come later in the week! After seeing the basics of Google and seeing a few examples of how other teachers use Google Apps in the classroom- how do you think Google will enhance the way you teach? Leave your thoughts and ideas in the comments section.

as webmaster i'm curious to see how calendar apps may be able to replace our current calendar.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to use GMail instead of Lotus Notes! I also think the Google Calendar is fabulous. I like that I will be able to embed a calendar on my website so I can easily update homework assignments.
ReplyDeleteI like using google sites in my classroom. It is very easy to setup and is kid friendly! I also like using google forms, great way to get student feedback.
ReplyDeleteI plan to use Google with my team to help us collaborate with one another. I think that this will help between our team meetings with sharing information throughout the week. Also, I think that this will be useful on a school wide level with the various PLC's. It will help meetings run smoother if there is a way to communicate other than meeting face to face.
ReplyDeleteI hope to use the calendar for homework assignments and up coming events and embed it into my web page!
ReplyDeleteI want my students to go paperless and use the Google docs in for their assignments. It will take time to get this together, but it will be great! Also, I love the idea of using Gmail (Google) for email! Another way I am going to use Google is embedding my calender on my school website.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to using Gmail and to being able to embed the calendar on my sharepoint webpage. I can see a lot of good uses for google docs not only for the classroom but also for professional networking.
ReplyDeleteI used Google last year, so the thing that I am most excited about it being able to collaborate with my peers. They have been a little reluctant in the past to use Google because it is "just one more thing to check". I am really excited to collaborate with peers using google calendar and google docs. I think this will really help us to communicate faster and more effectively.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to use Google calendar to help my students keep up with activities that are coming up. I also want to use Google Docs to increase collaboration within my grade level.
ReplyDeleteI have used Google sites before in my classroom and I found it really easy to use. I am excited to use the Google Calender to post the homework assignments in my class.
ReplyDeleteI love love love gmail!
ReplyDeleteI am looking for more ways to us google. I will be embeding the calendar into my website and using this to help my students and myself stay organized.
I am excited about the new mail! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm also going to try and use the calendar for homework assignments and upcoming events in my classroom.
I also plan to use documents with my students. I've used it many times in graduate school and I plan to teach my students to collaborate using google docs! How exciting!!!
I think using Google docs is a great way to keep me organized. It is a great place to keep any and all important documents that is east to get to and use.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see how google apps will impact my classroom. I am already getting ideas for my website as far as the calendar goes!!!
ReplyDeleteI have used Google Docs for a couple of years now, very successfully. I'm looking forward to using the new calendar as it is easier than Sharepoint.
ReplyDeleteI am excited and can't wait to explore all the facets of google! I plan to use the calendar feature to inform students and parents as to what we are studying and stay organized!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see how Google Docs can help my PLC Team collaborate with creating common assessments. I also look forward to embedding a calendar in my Share Point Website.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for ways for students to collaborate, create and share without the paper. Using Google is a great tool for them to use.
ReplyDeleteI plan to use Google docs to collaborate with my class more effectively. I think they will also be beneficial in collaborating with my PLC team. I have in the past used an online lesson plan book, but I am hoping I can use Google Calendar in a similar manner.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the technical issues I seem to be encountering get resolved soon. Right now it is like Christmas, and I have secretly already had a sneak peek at my presents but I have just been informed I can't open anything until Grandma gets here. (all because "You do not have permissions to open the Network Connections Folder.") I have a suped up new sports car but the dealer did not give me the keys.
Here is my blog so far.

I'll continue the journey with Google, and use Docs to share assignments, and student work.
ReplyDeleteGoogle has a lot to offer the teacher and the student. I am excited to continue learning the ins and the outs so I can implement Google 100% this school year.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great way to share ideas with each other and build our PLN! I have already used it some with my students and really did more work than I needed to for my preparation. I have learned great shortcuts and ways to enhance my teaching and keep my students involved!
ReplyDeleteI plan on using Google in a lot of ways. Other than using Google as my e-mail I want to try using Google Docs with my students. I'm excited to try all the new Google techniques we've learned this week.
ReplyDeleteI will use Google to collaborate with other Pinnacle leaders. I will use the calendar and Gmail to communicate with my team. I appreciate the opportunity to try this new site for our school system.
