Using Google Tools is an adventure. When I am on adventure, I get excited, scared, collaborative, cooperative, antsy, nervous, and this is how I feel about this Google tools adventure. I am very interested in using Blogs with my students to send them on thought provoking ventures. I hope to learn how to manage Blogs in terms of making sure they are meaningful, how to "grade" them, and how to get students to respond to them and not feel overwhelmed.
I also want to have my students work with spreadsheets, collecting real data that will be meaningful to them and will that will be driven by project based and service learning.

ReplyDeleteI like your description on how you are "feeling" about using Google Tools (I feel some of the exact emotions). You do bring up an important question, ....how do we grade or assess Blogs?
