Almost a year ago, Grade 6 Humanities classes piloted Google Apps in ISKL's middle school; our first small steps involved conversion of our email from the First Class platform to gmail, and google docs.
What seems like years ago, has evolved into Panther Apps ( over very own Google Apps domain). Middle School students have taken to Google Docs, Google Sites (for eportfolios and class assignments) , Blogger, Youtube and Picasa with zeal.
For colleagues and students Google Docs has now become our collaborative planning tool of choice.Google Docs as a collaborative tool exceeded both student and faculty expectations. Students could share ideas with their partner, edit documents, upload and create documents. The autosave and sharing function allowed for continual feedback, students and teachers could track progress. From curriculum planning, K-12 Technology Teams and our PTA, google apps has changed the way in which we collaborate.
