Possible Netbook Use
- 1. By: EllieHodges 7th and 8th Grade Science TeacherHow might a netbook be put to use?
- 2. Google DocumentsEvery DeWittstudent and teacher already has an account.Documents are saved online, students can work on assignments from any computer with an internet connection.Students can collaborate on presentations; they can add their own slides to a group presentation from any computer connected to the internet. Similarly, students can collaborate on a document.Students can share an assignment with other students for peer editing.Students can turn in assignments electronically by sharing them with their teachers. (at teacher’s discrection)
- 3. Google DocumentThe nextslide will show a google document I made for a continuing education class. I shared that document with a few other teachers and they added comments, which can be seen in yellow. This application could be used for peer editing or teacher feedback.Note: I can access this document from an internet-connected computer, as can anyone I have shared it with.

- 5. Google PresentationThe nextslide will show part of a presentation I did for one of my classes. I showed this presentation to my 7th grade classes, and then shared it with them so they could view it again at home if they wanted.

- 7. Google SpreadsheetsThe nextslide will show a graph a student made for their science fair project this year. I was pleasantly surprised about how easy it was for students to enter their data into a spreadsheet in google docs and then create a graph.

- 9. ExploratreeExploratree is oneof many websites where students can fill out a graphic organizer or mind map. In the example on the next page, students would click in the circles and type in their answers.There are several pre-made graphic organizers, but students and teachers can also create their own.

- 11. Project ProductsOne thingI think is particularly exciting about the netbook project is the different options students will have for creating project products. In the next few slides I will show a two sites (of many) that allow for students to use their creativity and produce some beautiful work. Those sites are Glogster and ToondooNote: the examples are from the internet, not DeWitt students.

- 15. Science Class ExampleIcould share a google doc with my students that provided them with a list of links around a particular topic. They could then go to those websites to read, watch or listen. When they had visited all of the sites I could have them summarize what they learned, answer questions, fill out a graphic organizer, have a group discussion, etc. Here are some examples of sites I might want my students to check out related to the topic of Earthquakes:Earthquake AnimationsStrongest/Deadliest Earthquakes InformationAll About Earthquakes
