Website Creation

I really enjoyed creating my own website using Google Sites. It showed me how to add different features for when I have to create one in my school. I will know how to create a fun and useful website for my students and their parents to use. Many current teachers do not know how to create a website for their classroom and another person updates it for them. I do not want to be one of these teachers and feel more confident that I can do it myself. It is very time consuming, but the final product is definitely worth it.

Google Features

Today's class, we continued talking about the features of Google. I had no idea Google had similar options of Microsoft Office available online. This is much easier if you are working with a group because everyone can change something, rather than getting lost in translation and trying to match everyone's preference. This is also better if the group is not able to meet in person, you can just meet through instant messaging online and the entire group can look at the project. I am a fan of these Google features as well.

Scavenger Hunt

Today, in class, I learned about some features Google has to offer. Google Maps scavenger hunt caught my attention. It seemed like a useful feature for a classroom. You could do so much with this feature. It could work for a Geography lesson, a fun activity for a holiday, really anything. I would recommend using the scavenger hunt, it is easy to use and would be fun for students.
