Project: Using Google Docs

Yesterday, we began working on a project related to Google Docs. You are to work with a partner - the person that shares your desk - and create a newsletter, survey (form), spreadsheet, and presentation related to Drug Awareness or Distracted Driving. You will find the details here: Using Google Docs. The project should be completed by the end of the hour on Friday, April 1.

Please utilize the comments section to ask and respond to questions.

Student Technology Survey

In class today, we took time to create a Technology Survey using a Google Form. By using this Google App, we can collect data with a survey that will be transferred to a spreadsheet and then create charts and graphs.

Please take time to complete the form that we created.

Google Docs

Today, we took a look at the concept of cloud computing and used Google Docs - a Web-based service that allows us to create and edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms. With Google Docs we can share our documents with others for peer-editing and collaborate on the same document in "real-time." During class a roster was created in Google Docs that contains each student's name, email address, and personal blog URL: Class Roster H4.  The best thing about Google Docs? We can access it from any computer that has an Internet connection!

Have you ever worked with Google Docs before? If so, how? Did you learn anything new today that you can see yourself using in your other classes? Please explain.
