Managing Student Assignments Using Google Docs and Drive - Ripon Tech Academy

By Anonymous -
Greetings!

 I've been gone for a week, but with good reason.  We have just wrapped up our second Ripon Summer Tech Academy facilitated by Naomi Harm of Innovative Educator Consulting.  And what a great academy it was.  Naomi's team of presenters delivered amazing presentations and were inspiring as always.

 The next series of posts will highlight several of the resources shared in various sessions.  All of the session resources and presentations can be found in this shared folder.

 Today I would like to share with you some very useful video tutorials from Naomi's session on using 1:1 Chromebooks.  

 Many teachers today are using Google Drive and the Google Suite of Apps to have students create assignments and turn them in. These video tutorials show how to manage this process in an organized and efficient way. 

Each video is approximately 5 minutes in length, so in just about 20 minutes, you will have a good understanding of what to do.

Video #2


Video #3

Video #4


 And there you have it.  I have been using Google Docs and Google Drive for a few years now to collect assignments from students. These videos will be very helpful as we get things set up for the school year.  

 Thanks Naomi Harm!

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own. Next you can choose from many different types of media to add objects to your page. Once your page is created you can add additional pages and view your Buncee in preview mode whenever you want. I love all of the options for adding media to your pages. The animations, drawings, videos, and stickers make your slides visually appealing. One of the richest types of media you can add is a 360 degree image from Buncee's gallery. These images allow the audience to click and scroll to view
