Please share a #|description of overall project or work to be #|completed. I am in need of learning more about GoogleDocs and being able to #|share files with #|teachers and #|students (and understanding how to do it myself). I know basics, but would like to be proficient. I would like to talk with you about a plan/project that would be beneficial for me to achieve these goals.

Please use this Wiki Journal to share a brief #|summary of work, questions, comments etc. If you are working outside of class for 'non-seat time' please add #|dates and time to record your work.

August 24 Time: **5** Comments: Worked in #|Google Docs, learned to add events to the calendar and how the "sharing" works.
 * At Home: 3:** I played with docs and apps, moving and sharing.

August 25 Time: **2.5** Comments: Practiced posting events on the calendar and sharing them to individuals, #|sharing documents with editing. I want to go deeper into the other apps of Google.
 * At Home: 4.5:** Set up calendar with the district calendar #|dates, synced bookmarks from Safari to Chrome.

August 26 Time: **4** Comments: Mini lesson in Google Docs/Drive. I learned how to convert pages documents]] to #|PDF files to upload to Drive. I learned to create folders to organize documents. I talked with Cheryl McGowan and Linda Snow as they will have some of my #|students for music. They will add me to their folder (?) so that I may see how my students are progressing on their music projects. I hope this will allow me to keep tabs on those students while they are in my study hall. **At Home:** **2**: I continued at home with Docs and more of the other apps within. I dropped an Excel attachment to my #|documents in finder and used the highlighter to highlight my student's names for quick reference. Never worked with Excel before. Trying lots of new things!

August 27: Time: **7 At Home:** I worked at home trying to figure out the app Hangouts. I finally was able to type a message. Dorothy started a #|video chat with me. I will #|continue to explore the perks of this during class tomorrow. I was able to add apps to multiple home screens.

August 28 Time: **3** Comments: Lesson on Apple TV, PBS #|activation. Made folders for student drop and how students will share their work. Set up a Portaportal site.
 * At Home: 2:** I will finish setting up the portaportal site so my study hall students will always have something to work on.

I loved the freedom to explore new technology that I will be able to pass on to my students. I was able to work at my own pace which allowed me to see what others were working on and asking questions about. There is still so much to learn or become better at. I would do this again!!!
