Lesson Plan
I received my class set of Chromebooks today and spent some time developing a lesson plan that will allow my students to work on the Chromebook and use a few Google Apps. Click on the link to view the lesson plan.

Google Apps
I spent some time last week reviewing Google Chrome Apps to use in the classroom. My criteria was to research and find an app that could be integrated with my Google Drive account and to then use the app to create something that could be used with my students in the classroom.
I initially had a hard time choosing an app because the Google Chrome store has hundreds available for educational use. Then I came across the Screencastify app and decided to explore its uses. It is a free app that is easy to navigate and within 15 minutes I created a product to use in class. I have attached a screen shot of the app and a link to how I plan to use it in class. The screen shot is here:

The review is here:

Let me know if have any ideas for additional uses for the app.

Google Drive
We have been learning the basics of Google Drive in my eMINTS class with a focus on creating a collaborative learning environment. One of the things I like best about Google Drive is the ability to have a paperless classroom. I can create a document on my computer and share it with my students. My students can then work on the document individually or collaboratively with classmates and share it back with me for grading.
Our assignment last week was to create a document that I will use in a future lesson. I created a simple ABC chart to use in my World War I unit with the intent of having my students fill it out with what they already know about World War I. We will then use it to discuss unit vocabulary and complete it again later as a test review. Click here to see the chart:

I also plan on using it as a pre-assessment before we begin our World War II unit. My students have advised me that WWII is their favorite part of history to study and I am really curious to find out what they already know about the war.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions for my template. You can respond with comments or send an email to catpeters65@gmail.com.
