Today in school we went to the computer lab together and learned how to use Google Docs. Google Docs is how we will do some of our homework this year. It allows students to work on a document at school and then pull up the same document at home and continue working on it. Students will also be able to share these documents with me electronically and I will be able to give feedback immediately. A letter is going home tomorrow explaining what this is. Each student has a unique username and password. This username/password information is also included in the letter coming home tomorrow. Please put these in a place where they won't be lost. We are also attaching a copy in our homework planners.
Tomorrow night, students will be asked to try to sign in to Google Docs and continue typing up a final draft of a narrative they worked on in school. I will be eager to see how this goes, as it will be our first try. As with any technology, there can be issues to work out so please let me know if there are any issues.
