Google Groups/Presentation

Google Groups was a fun activity to complete. I enjoyed having an assignment that allows us to work with partners. I learned how to upload an assignment to google documents. I learned also how to edit assignments to google documents. Those two steps was very frustrating to me and took some time to understand. I am not very computer savy, but I enjoy learning new things. I solved the issue I was having with uploading my part of the google story to google documents by reading in my book. I also found a online tutorial on YouTube on how to edit and upload a document to google documents. The group I had was also very helpful. Our group leader Raja explained step by step what I needed to do. I can integrate this knowledge into my future teaching by my future students possibly creating their own story for a English or History assignment. Each students can add to the story like my group partners and I did. This is a fun activity that is something different than just writing on a piece of paper or looking in a book. The NETS-T standards that were used in this assignment are: 1,2 and 4. Standard one is to "facilitate and acquire students learning and creativity". The google groups allows for students to engage in a assignment in a different way and it inspires them to have fun while learning. Standard number two is "design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments." This assignment is completed completely based on digital age learning and knowledge. Standard number four says "promote and model digital citizenship and responsibility." LINK for online story   LINK for google presentation
