First Timer - E-Learning

Ok, now I'm getting into it for real. I am creating a unit where 5th graders at Grand Haven Christian School will be using Google Sites to do collaborative projects in Social Studies with Mr. Koning.

Day 1 took awhile. I'm scheduled for 30 minutes, but dismissed them after 45. The kids said, no, we're not doing anything important. Then just they left, one of the teachers, Mrs. Rotman, showed up asking why they hadn't left yet. She was really cool about it, even though they should have been working on science even though the kids said it was nothing important.

But everyone was able to access their new Google account and get into their start page. We're going to be working on how to get to Google Sites and selecting the background, posting information, adding images, and a variety of other things over the next two weeks and after we get back from Christmas vacation. Then we will assign teams and let one of the kids set up the official team site and invite the other team members, Mr. Koning, and myself to join the group.
