After reading over the article, I have found new ways to use Google docs in a way that I didn't know was possible! I think these are creative ways of using Google! I had never even thought of using Google for making a spelling test before, so this website really opened my eyes to some new and creative ideas!
After talking to the girls at my table, we have decided that the three best ways to use google docs are:
- Get to know the class
- Weekly reading log
- Spelling Tests
I think that personally, these would be best for my future classroom. I am an Early Childhood major, which means I'm going to be working with younger students. Because the students are so young, it is vital to make a connection with them early on. The "get to know the class" survey is really a good idea. I will definitely use this in my class! Also, when working with younger grades, reading is essential because these are the years where children are learning to read. By making and using weekly reading logs, I can track what my students are reading and how they are doing with the books that they are reading. Lastly, Along with reading, during the younger years for children, they are learning how to write. Spelling tests are a must for young children so that they can learn how to write. By giving children a paper for the spelling test, that will make grading easier for the teacher and also less of a hassle for the students.
I think that there are many possible ways for me to use Google Forms in my future classroom. I plan to use Google Forms to make surveys to see what my class wants to study. I could also do a survey to see what my students know before we start a new unit. That way I know what I should be teaching!
