Week 2

What? - Today we learned about the google calender as well as igoogle. We also reviewed things that we can do in our gmail accounts, such as; documents, presentations, spreadsheets, drawings, etc.

So What? - To me this is great because I can easily keep track of assignments that need to be handed in for different classes by being notified through my calender. I can also sync my calender with other classmates and teachers, to know when important events are coming up.

Another great thing that I learned today is that I can easily work on documents with another individual without having to meet up with them in person or work around two different peoples busy schedules. We can both work on the same document in google docs more easily. We can get so much accomplished so much quicker because we don't have to work around each other.

Now What? - To me this means that I can post a calender for my class and have them refer to that to know when big due dates are coming up. The students won't have to rely on me reminding them, because they will have access to the information through the calender. Not only can they easily access it, but they can also be constantly notified through emails and text messages.

Another beneficial thing about todays lesson was that I now know how to make worksheets in google forms so that I don't always have to start from scratch to make quizes, homework assignments, or surveys for my students. It can save me alot of time and make things much more organized.
