Search Education                         

This is pretty neat!

 What better way to weave critical thinking skills and 21rst Century Skills together than to teach how to really narrow down a search, a description, or ask a specific question?

 I really liked this site. Check it out for a nice rainy day or maybe teacher's out lesson.

I have HUGE plans for Google Earth- limited knowledge, but that is going to change. I want to use Google Earth to help my students start off with basic geography- where are we (small to all-house to global location). 
As we work our way through our world history/ancient cultures themes I would like them to flag (?) their starting point and then as we work our way through history, add in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Rome, and Greece. I am eager to explore a way to labels that are historical and current.

Google Documents

 

I am really into using Google Docs to share ideas with other team members. Our whole team shares a Google doc and we work together with that doc to help guide us and manage the day to day 'remember to's'. 


We recently added a calendar. This is pretty simple-if you want to see a sample it is accessible through  your e-(opps-G) mail- see sample below!
