Write about one piece of technology that you would like to try this year, and why.
I am always one to hop on a new tech tool. I love finding and integrating new technology. One thing I would like to better integrate into my class next year is Google Docs.
I have personally used it for years to help organize my files and create graphics, but I haven't integrated a lot of the collaboration components into my work. Since I will be the main organizational force for our instructional team, I want to really work on how to best utilize the collaboration tools.
One thing I have already worked on, is creating our instructional calendar in Google Calendar. From there, I can easily share it with my other colleagues, edit it as needed, and even embed it onto my class website.
My next goal is to have all our common assessments, study guides, and labs on Google Drive to be able to share them with each other. We have limited storage in our email and our school share drive is not accessible at home. With Google Drive we can all access it from wherever we are.
I also want to use Google Forms in my classroom to have students take polls and give feedback -- especially when we try a new project. I often have students vote for their favorite project and this would be a great, easy way to do that.
What new tech tools are you excited to try?
