Google Survey

I think the resource of a Google Survey is great. Whether or not I choose to use it will have to be based on the context of the use. For math, I don't see how doing a survey like that is useful unless I was trying to target problem areas without knowing the student who answered.
I was interesting to contact teachers that I knew and ask them to fill this survey out. All of them were really excited to take part in my project...which made it really easy to get done.

Making Wiki Spaces and Interactive PowerPoint

This week's assignment was different in a way that it took more time to do something simple. The Wiki Spaces was not my favorite layout after making a Googlesite last week. I felt the Wiki layout was too blah and I felt I didn't have to much control over how it was set up. I do see potential in Wiki Spaces after finding the three articles for the Wikis In the Classroom.
The interactive PowerPoint was interesting to make. But I found myself worried that I had linked the wrong pages to each other. It was simple to make, but I felt that the one I submitted to give the project justice because I didn't have a lesson to actually base the questions off of. I feel that the interactive PowerPoint could be an importance piece to a future Googlesite. They could serve as extra tutorials or study guides to my lessons and assessments.

Making a PDF and Googlesite

I personally didn't like making the PDF. I don't think I will use it in my future math classes. I did enjoy the Googlesite. I think I will use that to help keep students updated and have it as a tool for parents to keep up with their child's progress and what is happening in the classroom. It think the Googlesite is a great way to stay orangized as a teacher, too.
