The Iowa Core ELA standards were made for Google Apps! Google provides numerous tools that encourage collaboration, creativity and communication. With Google Drive- students can keep a portfolio of all their work and keep it organized, with revision history you can see how a student's writing has evolved and if they collaborated, see what each student contributed to the document- and with the ability to comment right within a document, teachers and students can leave each other feedback. In this session we will discuss how to manage your English classroom and how you can use Google Apps and tools to enhance the ELA curriculum.
Looking for ways to extend the classroom beyond the walls of your school? Looking to collaborate with colleagues quickly and easily without leaving your room? Seeking opportunities to invite local experts into the classroom or take students on a field trip? Then Google Hangouts may be the answer! With the ability to share documents, screenshare, record and invite 10-15 people to your hangout, the ability to connect, share and learn from each other has never been easier!
