Starting Small with Google Docs

Technology can be scary, especially if you are someone who doesn't use it often or it seems like it always has an error when you use it.  But it can be a great teaching tool - it can engage students and possibly make your life a little easier.  

So, if you want to start small, start with Google Docs.  Have students work in Google Docs - whether they are taking notes, typing a paper, or gathering information -  rather than writing on paper or tying in Microsoft Word.  

Here is an example of something my daughter did in 4th grade in Google Docs.  


If you are feeling brave, create a folder in your Google Drive and share it with the students.  Have them turn their files into the folder, rather than print.
