Shared Document for In-Class Activity

In class (November 2) we will be working with Google Docs, Presentations and Forms. After we are done with the in-class activities, please provide a way for us to access them on your wiki. You can do this in a variety of ways. **Important Note:** Be sure to make your documents public and publish them on the web. If this was unclear after class, please refer to the Google Tutorials on Google Video or YouTube and see if you can figure it out.
 * Google Activity**

You can simply create links to the documents, presentations or forms and put them on your wikipage. Again, be sure they are public! Have someone else check them from another computer.
 * Making Links**

You may also embed your documents, presentations or forms into your wikipage. You first need to publish your Google project and then get the embed code. Once you find that, you should (with your wiki knowledge) be able to embed them in your wiki.
 * Embedding**

During class we will be discussing topics and ideas for you to use when creating these documents. Here are some suggestions (in case you aren't in class):
 * Information for your Google Documents, Presentations and Forms**

(One person) Download a document from this list. Upload it to Google Docs. Share it with the members of your group. Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Together organize these facts so they are more interesting. Highlight the important facts, add hyper links, insert comments, photos, etc.
 * Document:**

Create 5-10 Slides on one of the following topics:
 * Presentation:**
 * Favorite AT introduced this semester
 * Current "hot" topic in education
 * What being a (teacher, counselor, etc.) means to you
 * Your choice!

Create a form with 10 questions. Use at least 3-4 different questions types (ie. short text, paragraph text, check list, pull-down, etc.) Choose from one of the following:
 * Forms:**
 * Pretend you are a brand new teacher at the beginning of the year--create a short form for your students to get to know them better.
 * Create a quiz or assessment for your students use of AT. See here for some reference.
 * Create a quiz or assessment for your students (reading of a story, history facts, science knowledge, tech skills,etc.)
 * Your choice! Browse templates and create your own form based on your own needs and interests today!


 * For all you point hungry people, we will be assigning 10 points per section of this activity for a total of 30 points. Meet all the criteria listed here--including linking it somehow to your wiki--and you will receive 30/30 points.**
