Great to hear how people are using different google sites and apps in their classrooms. Many cool ideas that we could put into play in our syndicate.

Anytime - personal lives can be interwoven with our learning and working lives.
Anywhere - can be offline as well as online so beneficial to work at the optimum times for ourselves.
Any pace - rewindable learning. An area I need to work on for the students in our ILE. I have used this over the last 8 weeks of the course and know that many things I have forgotten already
                                                                                                        because I haven't used them, so
                                                                                                        giving this to students is important.

This is invaluable for students who don't have the conversation benefits of middle class children - 30 million words.

Summer Learning Journey. 
Will talk to students that over the summer break they only need to go online 3 times a week to read, do the activity related, blog it and comment on someone else's blog. Will make Friday lessons where we will pair up students each week and they need to complete a reading task, do an activity, blog it by themselves without being checked, then comment on each others blog post with a full comment and then reply to those comments.   

Google Test 
Hardcore. Didn't pass. Too slow even though I felt I was working 'fast for me'. Frustrating to not quite get there. Maybe I will sit again. Frustrating because I know I have learnt a heap about navigation of the different google sites and systems over the nine weeks in the course. and feel much more confident to use them, but know that I read slow and work slow, so maybe doing it again when I know what is coming up will mean success.

Moving forward I'm not 100% sure how I will use this blog as I also need to enter posts into our school Interlead Appraisal Connector Site. Fitting everything in can be a challenge. However with a sabbatical next year it may be good to connect to others through a blog about the areas of research I will be looking into.
