Wilson County Schools has started using Google's resource calendars for staff members to sign up for various equipment. As with all new things, there is an adjustment period.
I've created a screencast to explain how to sign up for resource (iPads, Laptop Cart, etc.) with your Google calendar. Click here to watch the tutorial! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

This website: http://indianajen.com/2013/10/15/dont-let-google-drive-leave-tire-marks-on-your-lesson-plans/ has some great ideas to keep in mind when using Google Drive with students for the first time.
"...to save yourself from being inundated with electronic documents, you need to be sure that part of your lesson preparation includes effective workflow planning. Otherwise, you may find some tire marks on those carefully constructed lessons as Google Drive’s powerful features careen out of control."
Many schools are using Daily 5 or Words Their Way to incorporate writing and spelling into their ELA curriculum. Sometimes it can be hard to find word work for upper elementary students, and it can be even harder to find a way to incorporate technology.
The site iPaddling through Fourth Grade - Encourage...Engage...Enlighten...Empower was created by a fourth grade teacher in Nebraska. She explains several apps that can be used for word work with upper elementary. I think it would be worth your while to check it out! |
