Purpose of the Blog

Welcome to Jessicca's technology blog. I have just begun my third year of teaching third grade in Roswell, Georgia. I am creating this blog as a means to share how I use technology in my third grade classroom. This blog will describe the different types of technology, how I chose to use specific types in correlation with curriculum standards, and the results of the use. I feel like technology integration is an important aspect to any classroom when preparing students for the real world. Technology provides a means to engage students and hook them into learning, as long as it is used correctly. Hopefully this blog can provide you with someideas on how to integrate technology or encourage you to begin integrating in your classroom. Additionally, I hope this blog can be used as way for others to share their ideas and suggestions with me so I can continvue to improve my practice.

Google Docs Experience

So my Google Docs experience has probably been significantly different from everyone elses since I have not been able to log in yet! However, I have used Google Docs before to collaborate with peers on a joint project. I have grown to really appreciate the convience of Google Docs because I am not one who likes to travel and physically work with other people. I love to collaborate on projects and have the different insights and ideas but hate the hassle that comes with finding a common time in schedules to meet. I think that Google Docs is very simple and easy to use making it a great tool for anyone who wants to try it out.

I have never used Google Docs in my own classroom of third graders so I'm not sure how good of a tool it would be for younger users. Does anyone have any experience using this tool with younger children? If so, what are some ways you have used it and how well did it work?
