Google drive for education

     Google drive is great for education; Google drive is an important tool for my 5th grade classroom. At the same time, I can use it for texting and editing assignments and use it for surveys and to benefit my student knowledge. Here is the three Google drive tools that I chose; first Google Docs so the students will open a document and ask students to finish the sentence “I like mathematics because help me….” The students can add their answers and share their ideas with other classmates so they can learn more about each other. The idea is to create a social community.
     The second tool that I pick up is Google Slides activities to add amazing presentations so the students cooperate effectively for example; shared presentations using links that has images to find interesting ideas to add it into their story formats also add videos that contained environments to make it awesome.
     The third tool that I would chose is Google Forms because offers forms that would help me and my students to acquire results. My students will collect data and use graphs to help them understand for example; how much people are using a webcam in their own houses and become experts in the graphing designs.
     My mission as a teacher is to become an expert so I can persuade my students that are necessary to use Google Drive in their every day assignments. Google Drive is a free place  to navigate and become familiar  with basic tools and start creating new functions that make the teachers and students work fast and furious.
     Google Docs; is a tool that is like Microsoft Word
     Google Slides; is like a Power Point tool
     Google Forms; is a Survey Monkey
     However, Google Drive is not a tool so you can reserve stuff, is a place to create ideas and more. I chose the above Google tools, because I like to create different forums to expand the abilities of my fifth graders and make my life easy. I invite you to use it because has the tools to administer your classroom activities and collaborate in the every day testing and you can alginate in the education system. Is not hard to learn it, but you can start today and practice in order to capture the whole technological idea. I belie that is fantastic that has the platform that anybody in also upper level students can use it in their professional workplace. It is great for the students and families can practice together.

  1. Edna,

    I also want to implement Google Slides into my 5th grade classroom because it allows the students to do research on a historical symbol, person, landmark or date on the computers. You have great ideas on how to use Google Drive inside the classroom, and I also liked how you compared the online programs such as Google Docs, Google, Slides, and Google Forms with the Microsoft Office.

  2. Hi Edna,

    I think it is amazing that google slides can provide a great alternative for powerpoint. Especially since microsoft products tend to be very expensive and not all of the students have access to these products. The thing that i like about google slides, is that it is free. All you need is internet access and a google email. I think this will help connect students with their teachers more effectively
