Kindergarteners Can Google!
This year, with the transition to Dell and the focus on using Google apps, it’s been a challenge for the very young students to just log into their Google accounts. But today, kindergarteners in Ms. Brown’s class at Holladay Elementary showed that they were ready to create on the computers! We helped them log into their Google accounts and got them set up with Google classroom. I gave them an assignment to write about winter using Google Docs. They opened the blank template, and I showed them how to change the font, size, and color of the title. Next we practiced writing one complete sentence with a capital (using Shift) and a period. Finally I showed them how to do a Google image search for a winter picture. We posted their documents on Google classroom so they could read each others’ stories. I was impressed with how well they did! Take a look at their writing here.
