Today we used Google Sheets. It is a spreadsheet program on Google drive. It allows multiple people to edit the sheet simultaneously through the creator of the spreadsheet emailing a link to another gmail account. Although it's pretty cool I was kicked out of the program many times.
Today we used Google Hangouts. Hangouts is like a FaceTime and can have up to 9 people at once in a chat. You can also doodle on their faces and text in the chat. Google Hangouts is pretty fun to use.
A while ago we made QR codes to help spread positive actions through our school. QR stands for quick response. I used tagomobile.com to make my own QR code by just typing in a text a QR code is generated. Then we printed them off and hung them around the school. My QR code got 7 scans.
Today in class we learned about Google Doodles. Google creates and has many contests over what the new logos should look like and be based on. Many are national holidays or famous peoples birthdays. Throughout the contests they held one topic was "Make The World A Better Place" here are some of my favorites of age groups from third graders to seniors in high school.Today we used google shopping, translate, and help outs. Google shopping is shopping by searching whatever product you can think of and finding the lowest prices on the web. Google translate lets you translate anything from one language to another. It woks by typing in what you want translated in you native language then it comes out in another language which you can select, it can also enunciate it for you. Google help outs lets you search any topic and then videos pop up that you can pay a fee per minute to watch. Google apps are a great resource.
Tuesday we used Google Maps to just explore around the earth. Google Maps can show you how to get to your destination and how long it will take to get there.
Today we learned how to use Google drive and docs. It was kind of like texting people, but on a computer. You can share documents and pictures through Google drive and docs. People can edit them right in front of you. It's pretty cool.
This is my Tuesday post. There's football practice tonight, but I don't know what time. Im typing stuff on this website. Today I learned how to create a blog using Weebly. There's a lot of things you can add to your blog like pictures and search bars. You can edit your texts by changing the font size and the colors. Weebly will be a fun site to use in the future.
