I did not like working with the classroom 2.0 blog platform. It was one I
was previous unfamiliar with and I found it difficult to use. Some of the more
dominant blog sites I have found are more user friendly.
There are so many Google Apps
available that I definitely do not know all of them exist. The ones I have
worked with extensively include Google Docs/Drive, Google Calendar and Gmail.
All of these are used my entire school to help us be more productive. Instead
of printing a million forms for the teachers in my school to use, we just put
the form on Google docs and anyone who needs it can print it off. We also use
the shared portion of the calendar to keep our work calendars aligned. I would
like to work more with Google forms and Google sites. I have created both forms
and sites to use in my classroom this year, so we shall see how that turns out.
I am hopeful for successful immersion. I could also use a Google site to
communicate with parents about what is going on in the classroom. I use my
Gmail to send communication to parents weekly and keeping all of their
addresses in a Gmail mailing list is extremely helpful.
