Thing 7 - Google Tools
I am creating a google doc to experience using it! I downloaded pictures from my computer into Picasa. I also created an igoogle homepage and added the moon phases, to do list, places to see before die, and maps and other things. I think that students might be able to do some of this for learning and creating documents. I don't see a lot of practical use for students in elementary for this "thing." Google earth could be interesting as a filler activity as students try to find their residence or other points of interest. This could lead to a short writing on their experience using one of these google tools.

The sun rises and sets on my Google Homepage!
ReplyDeleteI used Google Earth with my PGP kids one year (I wanted to learn it myself and that was a good excuse). They adored it. We learned directions - east / west/ north / south. They also did a report on a place they wanted to visit and then explored it on Google Earth. They loved finding their house - good way to learn their address (which some of them didn't know)
