Write a blog post reflecting on your Google Apps
for Education experience. Include at least three ideas for
using Google Apps in your classroom and/or your own professional learning and
productivity. At least one idea should reflect a collaborative use
My favorite App is Flubaroo. I see this having multiple uses. First, HPHS teachers who teach Juniors are
encouraged to do ACT Science Prep work.
With this new tool, we can write practice ACT sample work and have the
students complete the work online and at their own pace. The autograde feature allows for rapid
analysis of results and the ability to give feedback to the students.
Combining Flubaroo with a shared Google Form
would allow course teams to create practice exam or reading guides for their
course. For example, my textbook has
30-50 end of the chapter questions. If
this information is transferred to a Google Form- the work can be provided to
students for homework and in the morning the
teacher can review the results and see which topics need to be
reviewed. The teacher could ignore the “easy”
questions. By sharing the document,
different team members can choose the chapter review questions that make the
most sense for their class.
Google Docs- Are used by my Robotics teams to
maintain a group journal of their journey through the season. This electronic diary allows all 5-10 members
of the team to work together and create a standard consistent product even when
multiple members are creating the form.
Your HPHS students have had much more exposure to all things Google than the DHS kids.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of common assessments and Flubaroo.
