Surveying Students using Google Docs

Erin Martinez, teacher at Purple Sage Elementary, had her students fill out a survey, which she designed using Google Documents.

Activoting Going Strong

Here are pictures of some of the students voting. Ms. Scott says now not two days go by without voting with the Activotes.

More Third Grade Biographies

Students in Ms. Lee's third grade class also completed the research assignment on biographies. Then, they too created Vokis to share the information they learned about the person they researched. The students loved creating their Vokis. Ms. Lee loved it because it incorporated technology and was interactive.
