Since we have already created a website in Weebly.com, you can not embed your documents, presentations, and concerstions right into your websites. This is not part of this course but if you would like to know how to embed those objects, here are 8 videos where you can quickly learn how to enhance your website.

Vidoes:

I want you to watch a video about Google Docs. While watching the video I want you to think about how you can use Google docs in your own profession. The video will explain how a newspaper editor uses the program to collaborate with other editors. Instead, I want you to think about ways you can use this program in the classroom setting.

Here is another great video on the how Google Docs works in the classroom setting. Even in the elementary grades, I can see using Goolge Docs as a great way for students to write papers. While watching the video think about ways you would use Google Docs in you core subject areas.

By using the Netbook as a way to keep in touch with students who are out sick, the Google voice and video chat helps to keep the students informed. Watch this quick video on the Gmail voice and video chat Not only can students use this to keep to date on what homework they have to finish but you as a teacher can actually set up the Netbook in the classroom and allow students that are home sick watch the lesson that you are teaching. They will instantly know what homework they have to finish and be able to take notes while you are teaching. Just think of the possibilities.
