Week+2,+January+18,+2010

This week we learned to use the Google Document applications. Here's what I learned:
 * 1) Google presentations
 * You can make a slide show right on your google account and it saves into the cloud. You access it through the email, in "documents" and "create new". It works the same way as a Microsoft presentation, it's super easy to use. In order to send it to someone, you go to "Share" and put in the person's email.

2. I learned how to do a "form" as well, which is a test you can make and send to anyone. You can make it multiple choice, paragraph answer, etc. When you share it with someone, their answers are put into a spread sheet so that you can see all the answers easily. I love this feature. Here is a video tutorial for the google forms.

3. I learned how to make a Google Wiki. It seems to be much more interesting than Wikispaces and I would like to investigate it more. You can make interesting backgrounds and add pictures and videos. It's really cool

4. We used "clickers". Every student gets a clicker and can answer multiple choice questions with it. The answers are registered on the screen and put into graphs so that you can see overall results.
