GoogleGroups and Google Drive

I had a really great group. I was the group leader. For the first assignment we completed we choose to do chapters 5,6,7,8, and 11. We let everyone choose their own chapters. This assignment asked us to explore different chapters from the book and ask our other group members questions about it. My group members had some really great questions. We got it in on time and everyone worked hard on replying to each others questions. I learneed alot from doing this part of the assignment. This part required us to feed off of each other and to work as a group. With my future students, I can use this assignment not only for a team builder assignment but also to teach them how to blog and respond with edcated post. They can are peer editing each other on an assignment. It also allows them to really read material and understand it in order to come up with questions about the topic.
Also, we had another part of this assignment where we had to create a story as a group. This can also be good for my future students to conduct group. In this story there had to be an initiator, people to write the body and a person to write the ending. Feeding off of each other is really good for students because it allows them to express themselves in different types of ways. Our story was really good. It involved a boy with a secret. The last part of the assignment required us to do an individual powerpoint on our own individual chapters. This also allows for the material to be fully read and analyzed. This could be a way to test my future student's knowledge instead of just testing them on pencil and paper.
I really didn't have too many problem doing thos assignment. My group was great. The only slight problem was understanding the chapters and coming up with good questions. In order, to solve this problem I just read the chapter again with more in dept reading. The NETS-T standard that was covered was one because I think I used technology to be creative and design things.
