Don't Let Google Drive Leave Tire Marks on Your Lesson Plans - 2 views

  •  
    Great article especially for those just beginning to incorporate Google Drive
  •  
    Agreed! Thanks Dorie. Also, with Google Docs integration in Haiku, students can "turn in" google docs to a Haiku assignment. All of the sharing is then handled automatically, and you, as the teacher, can launch, comment, and annotate the students work from within Haiku. This makes it very convenient! Likewise, if you add a google doc to a content block in Haiku, it will automatically be shared with the students in that Haiku class. When you add it, you may choose whether to grant viewing, commenting, or editing permissions on the doc to the students in the class. Then students can launch that document directly from your Haiku class. Google Docs + Haiku makes managing assignments in Google Docs/Drive much easier.

    One other thought: Bypassing Haiku for a minute, I have also read about teachers using a google form to "collect" assignments in Google Drive. Students "turn in" their assignments by completing a short form with their name and a title and description of the assignment. Then they paste the document url into the form. That way, the teacher has a spreadsheet with each student's name and a direct link to their assignment. So, the teacher can go line by line through the spreadsheet and grade and annotate each student's assignment. I thought this was a clever solution.

Science Journaling: Article on Science as Inquiry - 3 views

  •  
    This article outlines different ways journaling can be useful in elementary science classes.
  •  
    Why not use Haiku for students to keep their journals? Discussions or Wikiprojects in Haiku could be used for this. In fact, the Bridge Building teams at Tupelo Middle School are using Wikiprojects to keep their journals, collect their data, and compose their portfolios for competition.
  •  
    Good point. Wiki/discussion boards are great for students to converse back and forth and work collaboratively in groups, but there are a few advantages to the old fashioned type journal as well. Drawings as well as charts and graphs for science are sometimes more beneficial to student learning and expression when done on paper and pencil. Ultimately, you would want to have both. It is also important to note that with the software we have available on the Macs, you could use the Photo Booth to capture drawings and graph and upload them to Haiku/Wiki or wherever you were sharing/storing them electronically.
