Module 3 - Google Docs/Drive

Google Drive/docs - Love the way the documents, images, etc can be accessed by me or others anywhere anytime through a google account. Web tools like this could be useful in so many ways in the classroom - for homework tasks to be posted and replied to or by students who are doing a joint project/activity and are unable to get together physically but can all work on the project from home or somewhere else. ( Collaboration ) This facility could also be used for anonymous opinions or voting in classroom settings. Being able to bring documents previously created on a computer across to google drive/docs is also an advantage as well as being able to create new documents for future use. It is also used for staff meetings and for staff to collaborate and work together as a team on the same doc to save time. At school I use Google Apps to collaborte and share ideas instantly with others.

Module 2 - Blogging/twittering

Hi All I have completed Module 2. Just finished checking my Twitter account, it is addictive, the amount of #PLN ( professional Learning Platforms) that are available is insane. I've joined some chats and left them thinking "WOW", its a different world!!! It’s a fabulous tool for keeping up to date with the latest thinking in Education. I started blogging with the students last year 2013, with grade four. I have a class blog this year as well and the students enjoy reading my daily blogs and reflecting back on their work, videos and photos. Last year I used a different blogging platform however I must admit that after viewing the videos that show how to use ’Blogger’ end of last year, it seems a lot less cumbersome and user-friendly. So this year I decided to use "Blogger"!!
