My Chromebook Adventure/The Tutu Within! - Part Two

Part two:

So what have we been learning in our classroom?

We have been ...

• adding users - this was a bit of a nightmare at first - each child had to be added to each chromebook.  This took time especially when they made a spelling mistake in the email or password.  Aue!

• using Google Docs to publish writing - editing and suggesting, making comments -this is highly valuable and readily accessible

• Sharing docs for e-learning websites

• using Google Slides to present research information about a mini-beast - this is huge - the possibilities are endless (the tamariki are so quick to learn and 'suss out' how to use the different tools to enhance and customise their slide presentation - I love that they are often showing me how to do something or a quick fix or a short cut!

• using our Google Chromecast to share children's learning, to display learning intentions, success criteria and learning tasks, to view websites, to view photos and videos.

Once I develop my own knowledge of all things Google, we will be able to continue to use our Chromebooks to engage, collaborate and enhance and possibly accelerate the learning in our class!
