    Cloud based document conversion. Perfect for making sure students can create documents that each other can access.

    Ryan this is a great tool, and one that I could use with my students. Giving students the ability to share documents through the web is a great way to promote group projects and the team concept.

    Catlin Tucker is an experienced teacher that documents her journey with blended learning. She not only puts on lesson plans, ideas, and resources, but she also makes tutorials for most of the websites/apps.
  • Brandon Hayes on 12 Oct 15
     
    This is a very cool website. This website has a great deal of information on it and Catlin is very inspirational. I think this resource would be good for teachers to glim inspiration form and for Catlin's students to access information about her courses. For a teacher to have a website is a very new thing and I am sure that many teachers do but have never explored one before; good find!

    This article talks about the concept of "hyperdocs" which puts everything a student needs for a unit or a learning cycle into one document to streamline the process and make learning more efficient for students.

    I love this article! I actually just decided to do something similar. I am giving my students a doc that has everything we are doing in this lesson. I have given checkpoints and this is allowing the students to go at their own pace. I am daily checking in to see who needs more structure, and I will still do regular instruction to those who need/want it. I think this is a great tool for teachers.

    This was a very interesting article for me because I am not knowledgable of hyperdocs. As I am reading, I am realizing that it is similar to WebQuests. I love the flexibility, the fewer lectures, and privacy of students taking ownership of their own learning. This definitely fits with Voice&Choice! Since I am less knowledgable on this topic, I love how it gave models. You can tell it was made by teachers! This article really lays it out for the reader!

    Great resource for teachers to get them started with using hyperdocs. This will be very useful to help me with using hyperdocs in my classroom. I have heard of hyperdocs before and came across the Hyperdoc Handbook before on Amazon. I did not know all the details of what they entailed and this article did a great job of providing a clear explanation, examples, templates, and the benefits of using them. I loved creating webquests for my students years ago, and after reading this article I understand that hyperdocs takes webquests to the next level. I am going to share this article with my colleagues because this would be a great way for us to differentiate and provide choice to students.

    A major push in my district and in the State of Iowa, is to get students reading more technical documents. Like you, I only have so much time to try and go out to find articles that will be interesting and relevant to students, so I use Scoop.it to do the hard work for me. I have it setup to email me once a day with stories and articles that are based around my subject area. You can absolutely do the same for your subject area!

    There are a lot of resources here for all classrooms, teachers, and students. It is divided up into 14 different categories and everything that I've looked at is free to your classroom. I've been searching for a few resources, such as a good audio-to-speech converter and some better graphics organizer sites. I typically have students create a end of the semester portfolio that documents all of their learning and their final products in various categories and I can see how sites like Cacoo, Organizely, and Popplet could really help me out.

    This link is great for teachers to use, especially now that many schools are moving to Google. I particularly like the brief reminders on things that I might not think of for using Google products. This would also be a great resource for students just getting to know the products or older teachers that are less familiar with some of these things.

    Sarah Thank you so much for posting this. We were just given permission from our curricilium director that we are allowed to go ahead with Google for Education, so I think this is going to be a great tool to help my teachers with this project. I agree that this recourse can be used very effectively in the classroom. Teachers are always looking for simples tricks and tools, and this offers so many different choices all within one platform! I think this can be used for both teachers and students, but teachers will find more benifits at the beginning because they will be the ones who are introducing all of these tricks to their students, who will then take off with the different tricks! There are other search engines, like Yahoo and Bing, but nothing seems to come close on all the different educational "apps" that are housed like what Google has to offer. It is simple, convienant, and it is something that seems to be lasting, which is always a HUGE plus when it comes to technology trends!

    I agree, Megan! Emma, happy to hear you are moving to Google Apps for Education. I made the switch my first year of teaching and haven't looked back! Google has so much to offer, and for free usually, that the possibilities seem endless. It has totally revolutionized how I thought I'd be teaching!
  • Ellie Bullock on 12 Oct 15
     
    Google has so many hidden tricks that nobody knows about! Being aware of these can help you use Google to the most of its ability. I would definitely use this since I want to use Google in my classroom. I have found out how wonderful Google is, and I didn't know some of these tips! This is for teacher use for obvious reasons. There are many lists of things out there, but this is a less known topic so there probably aren't too many.
