Google Docs

                In our classroom we are using Google Docs. In google Docs we can make documents, spreadsheets, drawings, presentations and share it with other people. When you share with other people you can let them comment, edit and can view. You can also chat while writing or editing some one’s writing piece, but only if you have permission to.

                Google Docs is where your teacher can create a test that only he\she can edit but if you copy the document, you can edit it by putting in the right answers, then you give your teacher the power to edit it so he\she can fix mistakes and give you a grade. You can make a collection so that you click on it and all of your documents, spreadsheets, drawings and presentations under that title will show up so you can choose one of them to work on. In your Docs, if you throw accidentally throw out a Doc (put it in the trash), there is a tool called trash where you can see what you threw out and either clear the trash or bring it back. You can also look at collections that come with google docs like items you own (not items that were shared with you), all of your or some one who shared it with you item, your main page, items that you starred, or the trash collection. You can see the History of your revision and pull it up. If you accidentally delete all or some of your words and you save it if you click under File then scroll down to revision history, then click on it and you will see all of your revision history. Click on the one you want then exit it out of revision history.

           In our classroom every morning, we have to sign in by using morning message. It is on the smart board. All of the messages are different (unless we have a band day which is only on Thursday). Today’s morning message was use an adjective or one phrase to describe the scene outside our classroom window. Every day, in math we do a math problem called a Do Now. It is going to be fractions because that is our subject right now. We sometimes have math home work. Our math home work last night was bringing home a recipe that one of our relatives made and say what it reminded us of. We made our own cartoons to show an example of PEMDAS and Integers. We also made our own math games.

             We all have our own google accounts that we made our own blogs with. We have friends from Canada. They are called epals.With our google accounts we can blog, email ,create docs, see calendar, see sites and make or watch a video. We have friends from Canada. They are called epals. We write online messages to them and we haven’t seen them yet. Some of our epals live in Toronto.Some live in the Newfoundland area. In our classroom we also are working on writing. In are writing we are working on a giver project which is create your own Utopian society. We used google Sketch up to make 3-D models of things that are in our society.
