Thing #18

I plan on using GoogleDocs to create links in blogger. It is very seemless. Openoffice works well for students. We have a lot of versions of Office floating around our campus, and openoffice will take that confusion away. Can you add special fonts to openoffice? I feel like that is the disadvantage. I'm sure that the cost savings far outweigh that disadvantage. Students do not need to have access to all the bells and whistles of MS office.

Thing #7

Google Docs
I want to use this for collaborating with my co-workers, as well as sharing information with other parents at Bendwood. I would love to include information on our grade level blog and link to PDF or documents. Here is my sample.

Google Calendar
I absolutely love google calendar. I have created different calendars and I like how you can color code and overlay them on top of each other. I set the daily agenda reminders so I get an email every morning letting me know what is going on that day. I created a SBISD calendar to use with my grade level blog. I will post it on the bottom of my team blog. I also like how you can copy events from one calendar to another. Here is my SBISD Calendar. I'll add TAKS dates later.
