Google Forms



I have blogged about Google before, but I'm doing it again!  I am really loving Google Apps for Education the more and more that I use it.  Everyday I learn something new!  One of the best things is Google Forms.  With Google Forms, you can create surveys and assessments for the students to take online.  It is great for student engagement and achievement.  I found a great article online about the many things you can do with Google Forms.  It even has a slide show of over 80 more ideas for using Google Forms in the classroom.  Just click the link below and start enjoying all that Google Forms can do for you!

SAMR and Google ~ A Beautiful Combination

I've been really investigating the SAMR model lately.  If you aren't familiar with the SAMR for integrating technology into the classroom, that's ok.  I first learned about it last year at a conference.  I went to a breakout session and came out more confused than when I went in.  So, I took it upon myself to learn about it through researching it online. The SAMR model is this:  Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition The more I investigated, the more I realized that our district needs to really look at where we are on this model.  Yes, we are a Google for Education district!  Yes, all students and teachers have access to Google Drive!  But, NO, we are not redefining education with technology. One day I was inspired by a fellow Google for Education trainer to really look at how we can use Google Drive to redefine our lessons.  So, I created the graphic below with ideas on how to use Google Drive and other Google pr...

Contraction Mania!

This week our first grade team analyzed some Fountas and Pinnell level G books to figure out what needed to be taught in reading to help our students get to that level.  We realized that many of the books contained contractions and words with inflected endings.  Our first plan of action was to immerse students in a word study of contractions. So, this week I introduced the word "contractions" to my class.  I first wrote the word on a piece of chart paper and had them turn and talk and try to tell their partners what the word was.  It was funny listening to them talk to each other.  After about a minute I had them turn back and tell me what they discussed.  I called on one child who then said, "We decided that we don't know what a contraction is."  Then, the rest of the class agreed with him.  I just had to chuckle at that.  It was so cute!  Then, I introduced contractions to the kids slowly using paint sample cards that I had made in a...

Money Match Game

After much practice on counting change, many of my math students still weren't getting it.  I noticed the Money Match Game on Teachers Pay Teachers (free download).  So, I downloaded it and made enough copies for each one of my students.  I cut them and placed them in quart sized ziplocks for each student.  In Missouri, we not only teach pennies, nickels, and dimes in first grade, but we also teach quarters and half dollars.  So, inspired by Jen's Money Match game ( http://www.frogtasticfirstgraders.blogspot.com/search/label/money ), I created more Money Match Cards that included amounts using quarters and half dollars.  It also includes instructions to parents on our Touch Math System that we use in class so the parents can help them at home. Just click on either picture to view the money match cards and instructions full size.  You can download them for free for use with your own students during math game time, small group instruction, or take-h...
