i google

Wow, I am excited and frustrated all at the same time.  I hae been exploring igoogle and google educator and have found things that I am excited to try out in my classes.  I am frustrated because I wish someone would have shown me these tools were available 5 years ago I could have been using them in my classes.  With igoogle I will be able to us it with my group projhects that I have the kids do in health.  The big issue I have had in the past is kids not having flash drives to take work home or kids work on projects at home and cant get it to school or the email didnt work or they didnt attach it right.  With using i google I can have all the kids set up accounts and use i google and solve a lot of problems!! The google educator has a lot of things that I going to keep looking into to use in my classes.  Having this class, I am taking the time to research and explore different things offered through google and I am learning a lot and want to keep finding new things that i can actually use in my classes.  Also I feel like I am more informed and less technologically challenged!

  1. Thats a great idea, I never thought of having students being able to share group projects through Google Docs outside of school. That would be so much easier!
