I learned this week about doing things on Googledocs and on a Classroom Website. We also had assignments for using Googledocs to get ready for our digital stories. We also built, tweeked, and refined our classroom sites.
I dream about my pajamas all day, and Googledocs helps my dream come true a little sooner. It is so nice to be able to be comfortable, and still working with someone on a project at home. I think that the "translate" option is by far the most amazing thing about the program. I am so glad to know about this. When I worked at Windsor Elementary there was a teacher there who spoke spanish, and she translated the letters home for the other teachers. She was a little overwhelmed. I love knowing that I won't be burdoning a fellow teacher for my letters home. I am just going to put it in Googledocs, and translate.
The classroom website was fairly cool too. There was a short freak-out period when I somehow turned my resource page into a sub-page for my calendar. I still have no idea how it happened, and those words on the rubric kept flashing in my head..."no subpages or comments". Ah! ~sigh~ but thank goodness I figured out how to fix it.
I like all the choices of themes and colors. I think it will be great and helpful to have as a teacher. I love all the different options they have for pages (resource, homework, etc). I think students will like to have a site that they can go for their class. They will be able to see assignments they missed, and you could even add a page that has pictures of things they are doing in class. I think it is an excellent way to communicate. Overall, I liked putting the website together.
