Google Docs is an excellent way to stay connected with parents to let them know “What’s Up?” in your classroom. However, it has many other uses, it can help students collaborate with each other on group projects, communicate with their teachers in real time, it is also perfect for teachers to share ideas and projects with each other. Using Google Docs in the classroom is a Win-Win-Win for everyone!
I am going to use Google Docs for a math activity to help kindergarten students recognize shapes in different sizes and orientations. Teachers can keep this high tech and have students use the paint buttons to fill in the shapes with the assigned colors or it can be low tech using regular old crayons to color in the different shapes.
Assignment: Color all of the triangles red. Color all of the squares green. Color all of the circles orange. Here is the example with the link below.
Math: Geometry Standard 2
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall sizes.
UEN- Ed Tech Standard 5
Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. (3, 4)

I identify authentic problems, work with data and use a step-by-step process to automate solutions.
