    I just love the way Google supports teachers and education. Companies like Google are shattering what was once limits in education! Their online tools are making impacts in all levels of education k-12 and higher ed!

    When I found out about Google in Education I was thrilled. Google provides so many opportunities and applications for everyone, not just teachers. It is a great tool to learn from and get classroom ideas. It definitely helps support any aspiring teacher, and helps benefit them in a positive way!

    I didn't know about Google in Education before this and I really like it! I think it's wonderful how Google is supporting educators along with students. This website is filled with great information and I will be looking back upon it in my future classroom for a resource. Thank you for sharing Nichol!

    Nice find Nichol! I don't think it could hurt anything to have someone like google getting behind teachers in education. Now granted, pretty much everything they are presenting here is something that is going to turn you on to a google product, but google makes some pretty great things so I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that they do this. If you're going to put that many resources into helping teachers (and the option to help students as well) you might as well get a little something out of it yourself.

    Very cool! Love google and love the education aspect. Students know google and are comfortable with it. This is a great option for my classroom.

    This is a great resource for app smashing project ideas. It is geared towards teachers, but I can see some excellent ways to incorporate app smashing into my curriculum once the resources become available. I particularly like that it broke each project down into the types of apps needed and for what purpose. This makes it easier to adapt a project to fit my particular classroom or change the topic altogether and use the formula instead.

    Great resource for everything to do with app-smashing. I especially liked the "Get the Most Out of Google" section because it talked about how to beautify Google Docs. A few teachers have complained to me that they don't like how simplified Google Docs is compared to Microsoft Word, but I want to explore these ideas more to show them how it can be spiced up. Then we could easily move forward and show the kids how to beautify their Google Docs. I've found that the kids get really into picking pretty backgrounds and fonts, lol... We just got done writing our own "Declarations of Independence," and many of them wanted to decorate theirs with aged paper, calligraphy pens, etc. Thanks!

    Katrina, Thanks for sharing this resource. This is useful to us as students right now because we are working on App Smashing, and I can see it being a useful resource to share with upper level students to inspire them to try something more complex. I also see it as a great resource for teachers because it offers quite a few good ideas of projects to use with App Smashing along with the apps that make it work. If you are a teacher new to app smashing, it is nice to start with a set idea rather than trying to invent your own project to go along with the apps you want to use. I look forward to implementing some of these ideas in my own classroom!

social media technology classroom techissues

shared by Lorena Harger on 12 Oct 15 - No Cached
  • Our goal should be to find a tool that allows students to interact in an open-ended and creative way about topics of interest and relevance to them.
  • The parameters of the interaction need to be established ahead of time by the teacher as well as the expected level of participation and interaction of the students. As engaged as your students might be in the activity, there is no escaping that this is a course assignment or requirement which may hinder open communication and could dampen some enthusiasm
  • In a K–12 setting, it is a good idea to get your principal’s permission before using social media with your classes in any capacity. For minors, it also makes sense to get permission from your students’ parents. They want to know what you are doing in class and, for the most part, will be as excited as the students.

  • Getting up to speed with the variety of technologies that make sense for you and your classes may take some time and patience. If you are not as technologically adept as you would like to be, remember your students’ experiences learning language in your class. It is only through practice, and trial and error, that you gain technological proficiency.

    This resource is great for beginning teachers and teachers who have not worked with students with different abilities before. I like how it also notes the gifted populations as well as those students with a disability. This resource could be used by both teachers and students. Teachers could use it to learn a brief amount more about students with special needs, while as students can use it to understand what other options/strategies might work best for them if they fall into one of the categories listed. There are many other resources that provide strategies/information about how to work with special populations. One I like to check out as a special ed teacher is ldonline.com.
