First, there is Laura's understanding of how kids learn technology. Before they start this project, she exposes them to Google Docs and lets them explore the program. It didn't take long for the kids to of course find the chat feature in Google Docs. For some teachers, this would have been a reason to stop using Google Docs, for others like Laura, it was a teaching opportunity and a chance to use it for learning. A quick call to the carpet, the class talked about the chat. Why did Google put it there? How would you use it? What would you say? And off they go again exploring the program.

Perfect timing Tracy! My class is creating magazines this week with their own personal covers, but the inside articles will be created by all. I think the template will be perfect.
