Tech 1's Google Presentations

Tech 1's created a "customer survey" of their companies using GoogleDocs forms. Question types were multiple choice, rating scales, and paragraph style. Students acted as customers of their peers' companies and filled out the forms.

Students used generated charts to create a web-based presentation of what customers thought of their company and a "Plan of Action" to improve any downfalls.

After presenting, one student was so nervous she had to open a window and hang her head outside to breathe.

I plan on adding this layout to my house someday. It's adds a gaming ambience. Available from www.whatisblik.com

That's Amore

A world Champion Pizza tosser is here today. He needed to borrow my laptop to play a dvd on the projector. I hope I get a pizza out of the deal.

Monday...

My tech 1 class is watching me type this. You can blog right from your Google homepage using this Gadget. Try it sometime.

Post #1

We'll see how long this blog lasts. I hope I can use it for a long time to share what we're up to in the classroom.

The 7th graders are keyboarding with the covers on. One just grumbled "I hate keyboard covers".
