Hello Fellow Soon To Be Teachers,
It's been forever (it seems) since I last posted. It's a shame, really. This is one of my favorite things to do, but it seems as the semester progresses, the workload doubles or even triples in some classes and I can't seem to ever catch up. Am I the only one who feels that way?
I digress.
Ok, in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I am not a fan of Google Docs. I don't think it's easy to use. I have played around with Google Docs in the past and I just don't "get it." I suppose someone a bit more tech savvy can fully understand how to use it and really use it for it's purpose... to collaborate on projects. Personally, I am pretty old school in this department and use Word and just track my (and others) changes. However, that isn't feasible if I want to share with the masses (i.e. students and parents on a blog).
I played around with Zoho and really like it! It was more user friendly for how my mind operates in "tech world."
Below you can see that I uploaded my PowerPoint presentation for our Education class and if I did everything right, I'm hoping that you (yes you!) can even make changes to the presentation.
This is great because I plan on using PowerPoint A LOT in my classroom and I can easily upload my presentations to my blog and students and parents can ask questions right from the PowerPoint if I don't make something as clear as I should.
I can totally see this being a very useful tool in keeping kids and parents on the same page as far as what we are all learning in the classroom.
