Wk4 Publishing/Leadership project part 2 of 2: Think Aloud Post

I have been getting some ideas with reading other's posts and Google Docs with their leadership project. I have decided that the best thing for me to do is the paper.  I think that it will be more professional to create this than the Powerpoint/Keynote presentation.  I will place the document with an accessible link on Google Docs, of course.

As for my publications, I have considered the following:

http://www.iste.org/
The International Society for Technology Education has thousands of members who are engaged in the advancement of using technology in education.  Seeing that I am using an online technology tool in my Action Research, this would be a perfect fit to be published in.

http://jite.org/
The Journal of Information Technology Education is an academically, peer-reviewed journal geared toward improving IT education all over the world.  Scanning through some of the articles, there were many web-based technologies being reviewed.  This made me believe that this would be a great choice as well.

Week 3-Practical Experience with Google Docs

My Google Doc page...a little Full Sail & high school work!

I tend to find and create documents for school at home sometimes. For me to get it to and from school, my flash drive has been my best friend. But sometimes that best friend is lost, or taken by my 13 month old, and never found again! This is why I started using Google Docs. I love that I will never have a conversion problem because I am using a Mac at home and a PC at school. Also, I don't have to worry about losing my important documents again.

I would love to incorporate Google Docs in my action research.  I think that it will be a great tool for my students.  The only problem is that it is blocked by my school district.  It would be a great way for my classes to collaborate and to share items with one another.

As far as proficiency, I am good at basic creation, uploading, and sharing a doc, but that is about it.  I had no idea that you are able to create surveys, forms and draw on a Google Doc.  That is what I want to learn more about.  In TMD class, we created a survey from there and I thought that it was so cool!  With the templates and help section, it was definitely easy.  I know that I only scratched the surface though and want to learn more.  I know that on Lynda.com, there are tutorials on Google Docs, so I will be looking into that very soon.
