Last class period we learned how to create a Google website for our classroom. We learned how to create a calendar for our website, and assignment page, a resource page, a file cabinet page, and a quiz page. This was really cool to learn and how a lot of it links with our gmail account so when we update something on the calendar on our gmail account, it automatically updates on our website.
This technology is important to me because I can use it to create a website of my own, whether it's for school or my personal life. A lot of people make you pay in order to create a website, but this allows you to create one for free! (which is totally awesome)
This is great for my future classroom because I can have a classroom website that helps the students and parents know what is going on in the classroom. It's also nice to create quizzes online because it automatically grades it! Also, parents can see what assignments are going to come up without having to rely on the kids to bring home the papers and remember what is going on. Really cool class!

January 18 - Google 1
This was a really cool class because I got to learn a lot about things I can use right now to help me in school, work, and when I become a teacher. We learned about Google engine, calendar, docs, spread sheets, chat, and presentations. Our homework assignment was to do the collaborative educational websites assignment. This is cool because once every student puts the information on the main document, I can have a great list of websites to check out as a teacher.
This technology is important for me to know because I can use all of these in my life right now. I can use google docs and chat on any group assignments I have in class and I currently am using it for my work whenever we need to create any sales scripts or information. Google calendar is great because I have a lot of things I need to keep organized and it will help me make calendars for all of the different things in my life that I need to do (personal, school and work) .
Google is such a great FREE tool to use in our classrooms. It is going to allow me to have some great teaching material for my students. I can have my students use Google docs for fitness (as an example) and have every student put in 2 ways they can exercise. I can also create a presentation for them to teach with, and create lesson plans in the spreadsheet.
