7 Wonderful Google Docs Tutorials for Teachers

7 Wonderful Google Docs Tutorials for Teachers
Google Drive has all the features that make it a very powerful productivity suite for teachers. Besides being able to create documents, slides, drawings and spreadsheets , users can also upload their own PDFs and files and sync them with their Google Drive accounts across different devices. Another good thing about Google Drive which I mentioned yesterday in " File Sharing Tools I recommend for Teachers" is that it is web based and can also work offline. This is probably what distinguished this service from other powerful tools like Dropbox and Evernote. With Google Drive installed on your computer or tablet, you can access your downloaded docs and work on them the way you want and once connected to internet you can then sync them to the cloud. To help you better tap the usefulness of Google Drive I am sharing with you these wonderful video tutorials created by Anson Alexander. 1- Composing Google Docs 2- Sharing Files 3- Document Organization 4- What is Google Spreadsheet ?

Des voyages scolaires pour créer des cartes postales sonores S'il y a bien une occasion pour réaliser des reportages, des enregistrements d'ambiances sonores ... des "cartes postales" sonores, ce sont les voyages scolaires. Je prends, pour cette séquence, l'exemple d'un projet réalisé avec des 4° à l'occasion de leur voyage en Espagne. Projet avec l'enseignante en espagnol et des 4° bilangue : création de 7 chroniques sonores par les élèves, montées ensuite en une seule émission, diffusée via un audioblog (podcasts) et via une radio associative Les élèves partent une semaine en Espagne visiter différents lieux pittoresques. Nombre de séances avec moi : 6 dont 3 pour l'enregistrement des voix des élèves et le montage en autonomie. Déroulement du projet séance 1 : l'habillage antenne : séance faite avant le voyage afin de les motiver et les aider à se projeter dans leur future chronique radio. séance 2 : De l'écrit à l'oral Nous comparons ce que nous entendons : l'une, c'est la froideur, neutralité du ton, accentuation des mots. Déroulement du projet

5 Time-Saving Ways Teachers Can Use Google Forms One of my favorite features of Google Drive is Google Forms. If you’re unfamiliar with this, think of it as a way to create quick surveys that can be used for a number of applications. Google automatically aggregates this data into a Google Spreadsheet, making forms a great way to quickly collect and share information. I have seen educators and administrators use Google Forms in the most creative and inventive ways. If you’re just starting with Google Forms, here are five ways that you can use them to streamline your classroom! Collect Contact Information At the beginning of the year, I find that a great ice-breaker with my students is to share a Google Form that asks their name, contact information, and something unique and interesting about themselves. Similarly, it is often necessary to collect information from parents for special events. Bell Ringer & Exit Ticket Activities Collect Homework Collecting homework is often an onerous task.

Google Forms in Education | Edcentric Google Forms in Education Though Google Docs has permeated through education over the last five years, Google Forms is still relatively new to most educators. Forms can be used by students, teachers, administrators, and other staff members. Before giving examples of how educators can use Google Forms, it is important to give a brief introduction. Google Forms is essentially a survey tool; however, it can be used for assessment. Teachers There are many ways that teachers can use Google Forms, from assessments to polling student interest on certain topics (Google Moderator will do something similar).

Using your iPad as a digital whiteboard Interested in finding out how easy it is to use your iPad as a digital whiteboard? As our experience and confidence in using the iPad in the education sector expands, using your iPad as a digital whiteboard may seem obvious. But whether you’re a confident Apple educator or just getting started, you might be unsure about how best to go about it. Perhaps you want to broadcast a tutorial or e-learning resource to your students or maybe create a collaborative task that can be viewed by the whole class.

ScreenChomp has received some great user reviews, and while free apps generally score higher than paid-for ones, Screen Chomp has achieved an impressive four-star rating. The free app uses the strapline: Record it. 2. While there are apps available to draw images, Zigzag has come highly recommended. 3. Checklist: Instructions:

Allan's Blog Fourni par Traduction DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION: V4 published Mar 2015. This PDF Poster has links to 122 of the latest and most popular educational apps. Now these resources are available in 19 different languages. V4.0 was published in March 2015 but I knew I was onto something useful when I first put the Padagogy Wheel together in July 2012. So why the need for Version 2.0? We need to have transformation at the core of what we do: If it is all about the students, where do you start with curriculum and/or teaching design – surely it is with what do you want your graduates to look like? Technology integration into the fabric of learning and teaching: is where we should be heading with all we do as teachers. Finally, can you help with V3.0?
