Thing 3

Thing 3

Hours Logged: 3+

Pre-Assessment: 1

Post-Assessment: 3


Google Docs... AHHH!! My most dreaded 'Thing.' I actually skipped Thing 3 and came back to it. I guess I'm just not as familiar with it and that is why I dread it. I am just comfortable with my Microsoft documents.  The first document I created is a basic document to share and use with the TBA team in my building.  After I created it, I realized I probably should have created a spreadsheet, instead of a table in the document. This sheet can be useful so that the TBA team and myself, as well as the other special education teacher, can all view it, and change it easily. 


This next document that I created would allow the general education teacher, myself, and the other special education teacher to create/add comments as to how each student is doing and progressing toward their goals. In my building we are departmentalized so the 2 special education teachers in my building share students.  At times, it can be very difficult to keep communication going so this would be nice to have to constantly update each other on how students are progressing. I hope that I can set aside my fears and use these tools. I believe that if I can use them correctly, it can really help to save time in the long run.

  1. Stick with Googledocs a little longer. It is just like Microsoft Word/Excel...but you can collaborate in real time with others! I encourage you to try it again! :)

    Don't forget to connect your learning to Marzano. What's the research behind why this is good for kids/you?
