Google Docs
I have already used Google Docs in the past, without knowing what they were or how to create them. When I filled out information or completed an application piece for one of the staff development courses I have attended, I had used this documents believing they were some sort of websites that provided this service to the district or something like that. I did not know that the presenters themselves have created these documents where they later shared the information with all the participants.
So now that I know what Google Docs are and how they work, I think that these documents can be a great source of information for other teachers and students.

- You could create a document that could be titled INPUT FROM STAFF DEVELOPMENT COURSES, which could include the name of the staff development course that a teacher has taken, the name of the teacher that took the course, a reflection upon his/her learning, and ideas or suggestions to apply their learning in the classroom.
- You could create a spreadsheet where the teachers can put the results from their students so you could have your ASSESSMENT WALLS online, to plan for strategies to use for the whole grade level.
- You could teach your students how to create a CLASSROOM PICTURE DICTIONARY FOR MULTIMEANING WORDS, that could grow as they find new meanings for those words.
During my Discovery Exercise, I created a Google Doc for FALL PARENTS - TEACHER CONFERENCES. It is very simple, but it is useful to document your communication with parents.
