Tool #4 was very beneficial to me. I had no idea that google could be such a great resource. I learned a lot of things that will be useful not only professionally, but personally as well.
I used google reader to subscribe to four teachers' blogs from my school (Tiger Trail) and to Nancy Ray's blog from Bear Boulevard.
I created a google doc that will allow all teachers to add their ideas for field trips to a cumulative list. When I have done this in the past I have had to keep track of separate emails from every teacher and compile a list of proposed field trip ideas. This is so much easier! The document could be used again to have everyone vote for the field trip they want. I will share the document with other teachers when school starts. I tried to post a link to my google doc but since I was not sure who would be viewing the doc I was not able to grant permission for it to me viewed.
I too love Google Docs and can hardly remember what life was like before I used them! So easy to work when you don't have to remember what computer has the file! It is available anywhere and to anyone who needs it!
