WHAT:
This week in class we relearned about the different things that can be done with google. We went over the different documents, calendar, and igoogle. We were then given the assignment of using UEN and google docs to do research on either a core objective of the social sciences or the arts.
NOW WHAT:
There are many benefits in learning to use these tools. A main one is, it is very useful in my education experience right now with preparing to do student teaching. Right now we are learning what we need to know and teach for our student teaching and google docs is a great way to communicate and work on projects within our groups or partnerships without having to meet at one specific time. Everyone can help and do it at their own time. One thing I really liked about this assignment is that it goes right along with several assignments we have to do and it also gives us practice with the UEN page.
SO WHAT:
By knowing about these tools I can he,p my future students in many ways. One thing in practicing it now, I will be better at it in the future. But even more so it can help me as a teacher in being more "professional". I mean this in a way of, I can have a schedule of everything going on, meetings, etc. right in front of me whenever I need it without having paperwork everywhere. I can take notes and lesson plans with me without having to bring a book or scattered papers or even a thumb drive; it's always with me! I think that an organized teacher and less stressed teacher is what students need to really learn. These are great tools that will help make my future classroom run smoother and allow my students to learn in a peaceful environment. I definately will be using them.
