I went into Google Docs and made a presentation about the art classes that I am teaching this summer on Tuesday mornings. I love it!
At the beginning of class students are read a book and following the reading, students are split into three groups (by age) and we create art projects based upone the books. The first week my students all made monsters using water bottles as a base and decorated the monsters using all sorts of creative materials. In another class students were weavers based upon a book about making yarn from sheep. Next week our students will be architectures creating buildings!
I found it easy to use and just as easy to share. I'm awaiting my feedback to be able to learn more ways and gain more ideas on how to utilize google docs in my classroom!
As of now, I believe I can use the tools in Google Apps with my team to share information from GLC meetings that I attend and I'd be able to share information from other meetings and conferences just the same! My favorite that I've worked with is the Google Docs presentation - I'm a very picture orientated person so this is a perfect way to display pictures to go with imperative information! We may not all be learners who learn by reading, many students (and adults) are visual and need realistic pictures to learn from!
