J.A. | I’m still trying to figure out Flubaroo.  I gave my pre-test on Google Forms last Wednesday.  I emailed a link to all my students, giving access to practice activities on Quizlet.

A.J. I had students share out feedback using a form through Doc Appender. I also changed my sign in so that I would always be logged in under Chrome and have options for signing in with my different accounts. I did not know this feature was an option and I like it.

C.P. | I used Youtube to instruct the students so that they could work at their own pace

ME. B.- I used a YouTube video and applied Ed Puzzle for the students to watch the video and respond to the questions I created.

S.J. I created a rubric for a genetic ethics PSA using Orange Slice.  

I tired to have students share feedback using Doc Appender, but had something setup incorrectly, so just utilized the google from that I had set up for peer evaluation.

J.R. | Sharing my YouTube channel with students (they were so impressed). I used one video I had transferred over for Math Nets on Smartboard (instead of classroom)

V.C. |

M.K. I I uploaded a video to YouTube and shared link with students.  I marked it as private so soon found students couldn’t not open so had to change.

Gave link to partners that showed how to use the strategy SOAPSTone when “reading’ a political cartoon.

I continued to gather useful videos from YouTube.

S.S. | I created a google form adding a video on Bloom’s taxonomy that featured Finding Nemo that students could watch and then choose questions and determine if they were knowledge, comprehension, application etc.  I then used the information as a formative assessment for each hour to determine if I needed to further team Bloom’s before we go further into our book club unit. I also created a video using screencastify for my staff that showed how to add on the extensions for screencastify, g classroom and google drive.  I used the editor to add signs etc. to give directions so I wouldn’t have to record my voice giving them directions.  I will be making one for each class we have.with my take a ways.  

M.D. | Spent time transferring my videos to YouTube videos to use within my google slides.

C.M. |Embedded  many youtube videos into my presentations and

C.S. | I pulled together some videos and channels into my YouTube channel. I also used conditional answers in g forms for a feedback survey for our upcoming fieldtrip

L.D. | used You Tube to reteach the math study guide.  I then embedded the videos into the smart notebook that i created.  I struggled with quickly changing it from ‘private’ to unlisted to make it accessible to my students.  I would also like to figure out how to edit my videos and how to use Zaption with it.

P.N. I used 2 of Google forms in a class. They worked great. . I shared the Youtube video features with a small group assigned to video a class activity. They have not used it yet.  I added videos to my You tube channel. I’d like more class time to keep working with YouTube and the other apps I am attempting to add to my things. :)

L.T. | I started a channel or sewing tutorials for fashion class

R.H. | I used Google forms to do a pre-assessment with vocabulary. I want to try grading it with Flubaroo.

I also created a Google sheet which I shared with my students in all of my class sections so my students can all sign up to take re-takes. Everything for the re-take is being online.

A/C.O. | I wanted to use EDpuzzle for a YouTube video I had planned for my foods classes. I messed something up so I placed the video on a Google slide and attached a form for student reflections. I think I figured out my mistake so I will know for next time.

N.V. | I used google forms to survey our team about connections they have with staff members.  I was able to experiment a little with Youtube and create a playlist, but I have yet to utilize it in the classroom.

Topic

Your Findings (ways to use, questions, awesome points)

File: Publish to the Web

• Make any Google doc/sheet/slide public to the world on it’s own unique website, or embedded into another site of your choosing.
• Examples: Slides, Slides 2, Docs, Docs 2, SchoolWires page, this doc published to the web, Sheets example with music contest (blog post about it).
• Blog Post

• Cool! I didn’t realize I didn’t have to go back to drive to make the doc public.
• got a lot of Add-ons to my Doc - can’t wait to share some of them with my students
• Push file and it publishes to the web.
• Grr!  Still struggling to embed a Google doc into School Wires.  My document has scroll bars.  

File: Download as, Email Collaborators & Page Setup

• Communicate quickly with people you have shared with, and set up your page in unique ways.

• I like that you can e-mail all of the people involved in a document without having to go to my e-mail.

View: Suggesting

• Edit student work without making changes to the document.  For exampel.
• Click on the pencil icon in the upper right of the page and switch to “Suggesting”.

• I would like to know more about this when I grade level IV writings.  
• This would be helpful when grading students writing assignments.
• I like being able to change to “suggesting” instead of “editing” when students share docs with each other for peer conferences.
• I’ve been using this in language arts since last year, and it really allows the students to see the modification

Insert: Equations, Drawings, Tables, Comments & Table of Contents

• How can you use drawings, tables, and ToC to maximize the materials you send to students?

• I need more help with this one. I am comfortable in Word but not Docs
• My students & I have been learning quickly about this as we are editing and revising feature articles in LA

Tools: Research & Voice Typing

• Find images, quotes, and information from Google without leaving the Doc!  Citations can also be pulled in from those recourses.  Voice typing can help students and teachers alike.

• tried voice typing - not very accurate with background noise and could not find a way to use it for the comments?
• I wish I knew how easy it is to pull images in.  My students just finished photo essays.  This is so simple!
• I hadn’t used voice typing before, but I’m amazed at how accurately it spells.

Add-ons: Highlight Tool & Open Clipart

• Set up default highlighters with specific meanings so you can select text, click a button and have students understand what they need to address.

• I liked using the clip art add on!
• Thesaurus isn't finding any words I need a synonym for. thoughts?
• I love this add-on for coding written work for corrections
• I really like the highlighter feature. It will be very useful with grading.

Add-ons: Orange Slice for Rubric Grading

• Copy and paste a rubric into a Google Doc and have the criteria appear in a sidebar as you read the paper.  You can mark of rubric categories as you read!  Scores are then highlighted in the rubric and a total score is appended at the top of the Doc.
• Blog Post (but playing is good too)

• This one sounds great!
• Very cool!  Works great with assessing learning targets, especially with district-wide writing assessments.
• Very cool that you can highlight the evidence that you used to score them on the criteria.  
• I like that it also grades it for you and figures the average.  You can also use this to transition to Standards Based Grading with the topic grading.  
• I can’t figure out how to use this - HELP!
• this is cool!  Useful for grading writing
• This is much easier than toggling between two different docs (the assn & the rubric)
• Very helpful!
• I LOVE orange slice! I will use it for all of my assignments on Google Classroom.

Add-ons: g(Math) / Wizkids CAS

• Making math and Google Docs a bit easier
