Using Google Doc's was a learning experience for me. I enjoyed all the many things that you could do with it. I also love the fact that others can get on and edit and add information as needed. I would love to use this tool in my classroom for multiple reasons. If I needed volunteers, I would make a spreed sheet with dates and times that I needed and send it to the parents so that if they were able they could get on and sign up for a date and time to come in and help, Also good for asking parents to help with field trips, and class parties. There really are so many different ways you can use google docs. You can use it to get information, you can survey your class and have all the data in one place that the class can go back and look at. I feel like google docs is a good tool that I would use if I taught a younger class. The thing with google docs is that you have to have an email to participate, and I feel not all the younger kids/students in younger classes have an email. So that is one down fall to it that I see. You also have to make sure all the students have permission from their parents to have an email. So if I didn't use it for my students, like I said I would use it with their parents to get information and to give them information as well.

The way I used it for this assignment was I created a Spreed Sheet that my students got to update. So we discussed physical education and the importance that being physically fit is. We made a goal as a class to at least get 30 minutes of outside of school physical activity a week, for 1 month. After the month we are going to reward ourselves with a picnic in the park and some fun outdoor games. 

Physical activity outside of class

Google Forms: Finding Dory Quiz, and Contact Information

We read the book Finding Dory as a class. We discussed the book and answered some Who, What, When, Where, and Why questions to get our brains a running. Then as a class we went to the computer room and all took a little quiz.

It first I was trying to figure out Google docs/forms because I usually use Microsoft Word. I have used Google a few times but now enough to just jump on and do it with out having to learn some new things. I never knew you could create quizzes, and better yet they even can grade the quizzes for you! I LOVED this tool (Google Forms)!! and I feel like I am going to use it a lot in my future class. It takes some time on my end to come up with the questions and to get on and type them up in the Google Form, but I feel like it does save me a lot of time in the long run with grading and recording scores. I feel like I will create some quizzes and either have some classroom tablets/ipads for a group of students to take the quiz, or even if we had time and no one was in the computer room we could just go there as a class and take it all at the same time. If I taught older students and had them present a project in class about a subject I could have them also create a small little quiz, so that we could make sure their peers were listening and learning. So many fun ideas and things you can do with Google Forms. 

I also created a Google Form to collect contact information from all my students parents so that I would have it all in one place and that it was easy to fill out. I feel like I would have a computer open and it pulled up, at the beginning of the year at meet your teacher night. That way parents can easily just fill it our while they are waiting to meet me. That way I would have their numbers off the bat to  call them if I needed anything, and also so that they could let me know about any concerns they had about their child or even allergies and such.

Pinterest: 4th Grade Health

Pinterest: is a great tool for teachers. They can get ideas on any subject they are teaching, art projects, class management, and class organization. I personally use Pinterest for so many other things as well, so I was more familiar with it than others might be. Students may have a Pinterest, and they might be able to use this tool as well. Maybe in my future class we can have a class Pinterest and so anyone can get on and maybe post something on a board of things that they would like to learn. I like it so that I can continually go back and look at those ideas that I have saved, because maybe I do not use them that week but I could go back and use them when I am teaching something that is relevant. I would recommend this tool to any and all teachers.

Here Is what I found on Pinterest to help me teach these things to my students and to understand what they need to be learning, and be prepared for the questions that they may have so I can answer them the best that I can and on a level that they understand.
