PLE6_GOOGLE DOCS PRESENTATION

PRESENTATION

This is the Google Docs Presentation that I put together from my movie slides to demonstrate the sharing of a presentation. You can share your presentation with audience via invites online. The presentation can also be embed to a blog or downloaded. Overall, I enjoyed my experience with this part of Google Docs Suite.

SHARING AND RETRIEVING INFORMATION

My next task is trying to use the Google Docs Spreadsheet which is going to be the source of sharing student daily attendance reports after verification which requires real-time updating and access to teachers and administrators daily. This report is used for several reasons, to catch cutters, and mainly to verify attendance. We switched platforms this year and it's been very interesting for me so far this year. I was currently sending out a cumulative Excel Spreadsheet daily via email which takes up a large quantity of space per email recipient plus daily and assume the storage of all the emails for those that don't clear them. I knew the storage issue was coming and it did! I got this email from the District Office Security asking what was the report etc.. I explained and cc my AP. I knew this was coming because of the files being so large they would start to slow down the email system and use the space up with the cumulative spreadsheets. This is why I'm working on using the Google Docs Spreadsheet which can be uploaded to my folder on the School's share drive with a link which will be given to all teachers and administrators for them to go to for retrieval of students attendance. The data will show the time stamped for the last update so that the teachers know that the information is current that they've retrieved.

I've been working on using the Google Doc Suite which is the Web 2.0 tool that I will be in my Action Research Project. My research is focused on finding a means of communication/ collaboration, sharing, and retrieval of student data among teachers and administration. Google Docs Suite provides the Web tool for a culture of ongoing , real-time communication throughout the school community, and information sharing has become natural.  I've shared my Literature Resources for my Action Resource Project using Google Docs with my Technogals team members. Google Docs allows them to review make comments on the document. I can also set the document as a read only as well. Read only will prevent changes from being made to the document. The link is below. Take a look!
