Administrators could also use Goggle docs to survey staff about current issues, such as scheduling events or meetings. This way everyone can see what's being planned and what dates need to be avoided.

Thing 15
With Google docs, other health teachers and I can work on curriculum documents, and parent letters. Everyone can stay current with the latest revision. Miscommunication can be prevented and time can be saved. We can set up a spread sheet that serves to survey other students (even between schools) as you have done for us. Students with an email address can use Google docs as they work on a project together. (Would it be possible for students without email addresses to make them in school?) An issue that comes to mind is monitoring student work. It might be difficult to track who did which task. But some of these issues and concerns can be prevented if we used Google Wave instead. I was able to set up a "wave" using this tool just to try it out, and it was quite impressive. I would love to give this a try with students this year.

While we have access to Google docs at school, we cannot create gmail accounts there. Students would have to create the accounts outside of school in order to be able to use them at school (at least as of this past year)
ReplyDeleteThing 15 requires you to enter information into the spreadsheet that we shared with you in google docs. See thing 15 for specifics. Be sure to log-in with your gmail address to gain access. Then at the bottom of the spreadsheet, go to Page 2 You are listed as Katherine L. -- just enter your info., then select save and close from the drop down menu under File.
