Each teacher in the PLC has been exposed to several Google Apps over the course of the first quarter. This includes, Sites, Docs, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Blogger, Distribution Lists, and File Sharing. Teachers learn the tools during the PLC time, practice with them as a group, and then continue to practice & implement them in their classrooms during the week. For the first quarter report-out, teachers will:
Create a blog post on Blogger that describes how the teacher is using Google Apps in their classroom already or is planning to use it in the future.
The post should include:
- A description of use or implementation plan
- Photos, screenshots, or videos of the plan (if available)
- Context of the course, lesson, unit, or subject area discipline
- Anecdotal evidence of use in classroom thus far (if available)
This breaks down to focusing on a few essential questions:
- How are you using it?
- Where are you using it?
- What changes do you plan to make?
- What has the experience been like so far?
Posts will be aggregated and organized by teacher/subject to showcase and make available as a resource to other staff members, which will highlight the potential for using Google Apps in the classroom.
Please submit your blog post along with the following:
- Name
- Gmail email address
- Blog URL
- Subject/grade level
- Brief abstract describing your post about your lesson or idea
Submit posts by the end of the day, Monday 10-29-12
