The End of An Era ... or, well a Unit!

Good Morning, Happy Thursday and Congratulations ... we are DONE with Google Apps!  Well, the truth is you will never be done with Google Apps.  It is a powerful tool that you will definitely be using throughout your High School career here at M-A and it is possible that it might be here forever ... who knows.  I am happy to say, however, that you are now equipped with the knowledge to use many of the tools within Google Apps.  Some of these tools include:  Google Drive (docs, sheets, etc), how to use a template, how to use the many features of GMail, Google Calendar, Creating an Online Quiz/Form, How to create a Google Site and add different features, how to use Google Translate, Picasa, the Google Custom Search, and more.  With that said, to wrap up our Google Unit, I want you to blog about it.  Here is the description of what I am looking for:


  • Image: Take a minimum of 5 of the assignments you have completed and used the snipping tool to take a picture of.  Import these images into Picasa and create a collage with them.  If you would like, I will actually offer extra credit for you to add a video to your blog highlighting the assignments  you completed in Google complete with images, music and subtitles.
  • Blog:  Okay, so we just finished a lengthy unit studying the various tools available to you in Google Apps.  I listed most of them above.  Please write an 8-10 sentence summary of your experience with Google Apps.  Consider the following:
    • Give some background about the different tools you learned using Google Apps. What did you enjoy most about our Google Apps Unit?
    • Explain/describe what you feel are the best tools you learned using Google Apps and/or what you think the most powerful uses of Google Apps might be?
    • Make a strong recommendation for why your reader (or really someone you know) would benefit from using these tools in Google!
    • Describe anything else that you would want your reader to know about your experience with Google Apps
