Have You Gone Google?



    Have you ever noticed that many classrooms have a hum or some type of noise? You might be wondering what that is all about if you aren't normally in the classroom. However, it's a healthy part of classroom learning and engagement, particularly in small group centers or learning activities. Now I am wondering as I hear their buzz, if they have gone Google! No, this isn't a new phrase for losing your sanity, but an effective way to integrate technology in the classroom using the Drive feature of Google. In Drive, teachers and students can access a variety of tools. Now that apps can also be added, teachers can also have Powtoon and Simplebooklet right at students fingertips! Wow, what a great way to engage students and promote critical thinking skills in daily learning!
