I chose Google docs for my assignment. I was really amazed with all the fun features it had! I especially liked all the different types of templates. I found a template for making out progress reports, calendars, graphic organizers, blank vocabulary worksheets, and lesson plans. As a future English teacher, I can see that the graphic organizers and the vocabulary worksheets would be especially helpful. The graphic organizers are a fun way of tying in a lesson and helping students to see the point I am trying to make. The vocabulary templates will be useful, as well. They are templates with divided sections for the word, prefix, suffix, root, defintion, and part of speech. I could also use the template for progress reports, calendars, and lesson plans. I could see all these applications being beneficial in the classroom. I am also excited about using them for my personal use.

Those application in Google docs sound like it would make it a lot easier for you to teach vocabulary and help with your lesson plans. I would have to agree with what you are saying that it would be beneficial in the classroom and thank you for sharing this useful information becuase I think it is important no matter what subject area you are that you have an effective way to help them learn the important vocabulary for that subject.
ReplyDeleteI love Google docs too! Although I haven't yet used it, I've explored it. I'm presenting it as my Web-site of the day for its spreadsheets.
ReplyDeleteGoogle docs is one of the seven wonders of the world. I have used the soooo much to help other people figure out everything from spreadsheets to word processors. The ability to share is the most amazing thing.
