Diving In

Google accounts here we come! In anatomy & physiology we created accounts so we can collaborate. We no longer have the capacity to share back to students via a server account drop box. Google docs will allow all of us to contribute feedback. I am also considering having the students create a blog for class. I'm trying to imagine what that will look like. Should it be for the semester or just a unit? What will be required?
Once students had their google accounts they were given time to explore. There were a lot of comments on the diversity of options. Kathy (our media specialist) and I highlighted a few ways we have used some of the offerings such as the reader, blogs, igoogle, and so forth. It will be interesting to see if by the end of the semester in January some student have developed their account beyond the requirements. I can't wait.
