Tool #4

Google Docs is pretty easy. Being proficient in MS Office made the transition to Google Docs a breeze The tools are so similar.

I created a chart in Google Docs to share with my team and get their feedback. It's a list of the classroom consequences we decided on. By collaborating on the design of the chart, we will have one, shared chart that will hang in each of the Fine Arts classrooms. It will be clear to the students that the expectations are the same whether they are in Music, Health Fitness or Art.

I sent a form to a handful of art teachers asking them to add items to the lis of high-volume inventory they regularly order from the SBISD warehouse. This process seems to be working as a successful way to gather info.

Google Apps is a great tool for my campus Fine Arts Team, but it will be invaluable for use between the district's Visual Arts Department. There is just one art teacher on each elementary campus, and this would make sharing lessons, ideas and information much easier than emailing attachments.
