Google



The purpose of this section of the presentation is to ...

1. Provide examples of how the tools within the google apps suite can be used to support and manage student learning 2. Take a closer look at google presentation.

Earlier on this year (2011) google apps was rolled out to a number of classes in our school. If you have a gmail address you also have access to all these tools for free! Most people use only the mail feature and are unaware of what else they have at their fingertips.

Here are some examples of how my class has been using these tools ...

**Google Docs**

__Documents __

Our class uses docs in these ways ...

• All my daily planning is done using google docs. I no longer use a daily planner. My planning is shared across to a  password protected page on our class wiki • Rubrics for assessment are created using docs • Giving feedback / feedforward on student work • Collaboration between students on a piece of work
