Teaching with Google

Image result for google
In recent years, google has changed the way we teach. There are so many difficult outlets of google that were highlighted in the video Introduction to G Suite For Education. With Google. many teachers and students are now relying on google documents, slides, and sheets to complete assignments. Students and teachers are using this more then Microsoft software because its free, can be accessed through any device, and can be shared amongst other users. It makes group work and class assignments that require collaboration MUCH easier. Google Suite also has a "GDrive". In the Google Drive you can store and back up your documents into one organized file, giving you easy access to everything! More teachers are now also using Google classroom, a webpage that can be set up to relay information about classroom assignments and announcements. With google hangouts, yo can even chat with your peers, or even your students if they have content questions!
Google products are up to date, adding new products, and staying relevant in the technology world.

Here is another video that highlights all the great resources of Google Apps:

    Sam, I agree that Google has made group collaborations much easier not only in this class, but in many. The educational programs on G Suite made many aspects of this class easier. I found that Google Sites personally helped me in developing my eFolio and has already proven to help me in other classes. I am curious to hear about how you would implement such applications in your classroom and how you would teached your students about their use.

eFolio

The course eFolio contains the majority of all of the work we did in the teaching with technology course. It is an accumulation of assignments and connections made throughout learning the course material. My eFolio contains some of my application connections along with my technology learning checklists that were done throughout the chapters. I think my eFolio shows a lot of what I have done in the course and how I have become a better technology user within the last month! I cannot wait to apply everything I have learned in this class into my classroom this upcoming fall.

LOCK IT UP!!!!!

Image
 When I look at this picture, the first word that comes to my mind is: Chaotic. This image seems to be a dangers of the internet image. Its a combination of all the things that you need to do to protect yourself from the online world. Without being cautious, your information could be leaked to the entire online world without your knowledge.  It is important to always keep your files locked and under passwords. With the technology we have in this day and age, hackers can easily penetrate into your files to access your information. NEVER keep your personal information in a place that is easy to access! As teachers, our job is to keep our students safe. By teaching them the dangers of PowerPoint and of the web, we are giving them the information they need to know to be smart online users.

WoW Project

The Web of Wonders project was a thought-provoking and eye-opening experience that was not only served to educate others but also educate myself as I was creating it. I chose to do my Social Studies tutorial-style project because I wanted to find outlets of technology to use for myself, and I wanted to show others how they can use it in the classroom as well. I chose to use Powtoon because it is a fun and visually pleasing presentation site. There are so many different things to do on Powtoon and unique ways to present the information you are trying to convey. I again used Screencast-o-Matic to narrate through my presentation to go into more details on the technologies I was discussing in my slides. I also enjoyed seeing all of the creative things my classmates were able to create. It was interesting for me to see what everyone came up with and what they took away from the course. There were interesting and well-thought out presentations that in each individuals own way, summed up the...
