Grouping for Google

For this assignment, we were assigned to groups and these were our designated Google Groups. We were to come up with names for our group and create discussions on technology topics for the classroom and create a short story together on Google Docs. Our group decided to be called the Eagle Know Nots and that we would create a story about a reputation of a group of girls that had our group name. The story was quite entertaining and with it, we learned a lot about Google Docs and how it works. After we were finished with this part of the assignment were to created a presentation of about 4 or 5 slides on the Google version of PowerPoint. I found this part to be easiest because the set up was very similar to Microsoft Office PowerPoint. I did not find myself to have any weaknesses on this assignment because I found it very simple. This assignment was supposed to meet NETS Goals 1, 2, 4, and 5. I think this project definitely met NETS Goal 1, Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity because everyone in our group had to find some creativity to create our story together.  NETS Goal 2 Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments was met as well because we created presentations on line that could be used to in our classroom that would definitely enhance the learning experience through technology. NETS Goal 4, Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility was met because we were very responsible in the way we answered our questions with each other online, giving our professional opinion and responding to other opinions in a responsible way. NETS Goal 5, Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership was met because we had to take on leadership in giving our input while in our groups and working together as future teachers. If you would like to read our story you can do that here and if you would like to view my presentation I made in Google version of PowerPoint, you can do that here.
