<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am a third grade teacher in Delaware. I have integrated Google Docs into my classroom by using a research paper that the class made into an encyclopedia of animlas that we researched. I am looking for some ideas on how to integrate the use of Google Docs in my homework. Does anyone have any ideas?</p>

One topic it am very interested in regarding Google Apps is reforming our district interdisciplinary STEM project to work with Google Docs and related applications. I've worked on the STEM team for two years now, and one thought I had after learning about Google Apps was that we could use Google Drive and related applications to explore our STEM topics and to store student progress and work. Every core class accesses previous student work from other classes, so the ease of saving everything to Google Drive is a definite plus, as students wouldn't lose work completed in other classes. However, as there are so many apps out there that are easily compatible with Google apps, I was also thinking that we could digitize our process further by using outside compatible apps with the project so students can work at their own pace and explore resources that are relevant to their individual projects. In sixth grade, students explore ways of preventing and reducing the incidence of disease, so I was curious if anyone knew of any resources that could work with this type of project. I was also curious if anyone had created an interdisciplinary project using Google resources before and if there were any suggestions on how to get started.

<p>I love using technology in my classroom but it can be difficult to incorporate Google Apps into some of my courses.

I'm struggling to find ways to use Google Apps in my tenth grade Geometry classes. I'm not sure if I should find a way for the students to collaborate in a discussion like Google Talk, or if it should be used for a project-based assignment like the other course. Any suggestions on ways to bring Google Apps into my tenth grade classroom would be appreciated! I love what the Google Apps have to offer and I use them on a regular basis, so I would love to introduce my students to them sooner rather than later.</p> What are some effective ways incorporate Google Apps into the Middle School Math Classroom?tag:www.classroom20.com,2015-03-22:649749:Topic:10603062015-03-22T17:20:45.224ZJohn Garretthttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JohnGarrett

<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I am a 7th grade Math/Special Education teacher at Georgetown Middle School, in Georgetown, Delaware. In recent years our school has had a strong focus on incorporating technology into the classroom. Our school has 3 iPad carts and 3 laptop carts, both of which are connected to the school's network. Many teachers would like to use the technology that is available to them in the classroom, however connectivity issues, and file sharing capabilities are a deterrent. Our school is in a unique situation, in which there are three schools within a school, a Kindergarten Center, an Elementary School, and Middle School. The dedicated server must meet the demands of all three schools, which is a challenging endeavor, especially during testing season. Teachers and students have the ability to save and share files on the server, however its current structure does not have the necessary bandwidth to accommodate the demands of our current population. Presently, the server virtually at maximum capacity, and files are deleted on a regular basis when the server is overloaded. Additionally, several teachers have to share classrooms, and are unable to access documents and files when they are not near their personal computers. This current system is outdated and ineffective. Presently, our district does not have access to Google Drive, however within the near future our school district is rumored to transition to Google Drive district-wide. Having access to Google Drive will be a wonderful asset to our school community. The collaborative structure of Google Drive will help facilitate more productive file sharing and storage. Additionally, both teachers and students will have access to documents, both at home and at school. Presently, thanks to my master's program, I have experience with the productivity applications offered by Google Drive, however I am curious to learn about how I can effectively incorporate the Google Applications within my Math classroom. I am interested in learning about specific applications that would help support the math curriculum, while also being simple to use for my students. I am excited to hear about any suggestions or personal experiences that you may have for using Google Drive in the middle school Math classroom. I look forward to receiving and suggestions or feedback you may have using Google Drive in your classroom.

<p>I was wondering if there is a way to have my students who use Keynote instead of PowerPoint put their presentation into a Google Drive Folder and be able to play it from the Drive? As of now I have to download their presentations to be able to view or play them. However my students who use PowerPoint or Google Docs I have no problems playing them directly from the Drive. Is there something that I am missing? TIA!</p>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I have been learning about Google and all it has to offer for the past few months, but my use of it has been mainly for my own projects and assignments. Now that I am fairly familiar with Google, I am interested in ideas for implementing its use in my first grade classroom-keeping in mind that internet access in my classroom is limited to 5 student computers. Any ideas for simple "starter projects" would be greatly appreciated.</p>

We still rely heavily on the Microsoft products.

<p>Hello! I am a sixth grade Mathematics and Science teacher. Over the last year, I have become more familiar with Google Drive and Google Apps. This year, my school has set up a Google account for every student in the district. They are completing presentations and assignments using Google Docs and Slides. Unfortunately, I have not used Google a lot with my teaching. I always find it difficult to incorporate Math and technology, but I have been trying. I would love advice, strategies, and/or examples that would help my class become successful. Also, if there is any applications that you have found that would be beneficial in both Math and Science I would love to have them! I’m trying to incorporate more Google within my classroom and any help would be wonderful. </p>
