What did you create and why?
I created an online graphic organizer for third or fourth grade students to use as a pre-write for a fractured fairy tale. This is a writing lesson I have used in the past, but I will save paper and copying costs by sharing this link with students.
Alternately this could be used to analyze a fractured fairy tale and compare it with the traditional story.
What went well for you?
I have created a similar organizer in Microsoft Word. I figured out how to use the Google Doc features. I realized that I didn't need to format the page with space for students to write. As they type, the page will expand to accommodate their writing.
What was challenging for you?
I still need to learn how to create a graphic in Google Drawings and add it too a Google Doc.
What did you enjoy?
I enjoy creating supplemental materials for students. I am currently looking through previously taught lessons and considering how to improve them with technology.
What ideas do you have for using this tool with your students?
Once I have my Google Classroom up and running, I can include documents like this one for writing assignments. As a substitute, I have access to this lesson in every school in the district. I can share it with a student who needs something extra, or pull it out for an emergency lesson.
