In this assignment we learn all about Google. Such as gmail, Google docs, Google calendar, and other Google tools.
So What:
This is an excellent tool that can be applied to all of my other classes. Both my education classes and my history classes. This gives me the opportunity to email professors when I am going to miss class or if I need to turn an assignment in after class hours. The calendar gives me the ability to schedule out my days and store them electronically and and take it with me with having caring a scheduling book with me. Several of the other applications that are available help me stay connected and up to date with important news. Technology like this is important to learn about because, I for one was not taught this information in high school so when I did decide to come back to college there were new technology that I knew nothing about but that I was expected to use. This new technology that keeps coming forward makes communication in general much easier.
Now What:
This new technology will make make it so much easier for my students to communicate. With not only me, as the teacher, but other students. I am a big fan of group work and I think that being able to use Google docs my students will be able to work on projects ans papers together. Being able to use this technology in my classroom I will be able to add more group work into my lesson plans. This will also make it easier to comment and critique their work and help them improve easier. This new technology will also be able to help my student have a better idea of knowing when an assignment is due. As far as working with my colleagues, being email each will not only allow us to share ideas that work in the classrooms and but to be able discuss students that are doing well and those that are having problems. This in turn will not only help the student succeed but help the teacher to be able to better help the students progress.
