Google Docs

As an assignment for my class, I have to publish a copy of my resume.  So if you want to know all about my work history click on this link and read it. AlysonBalzerResume

What did I learn today?

I learned that I am a whole lot more proficient using Microsoft products than I am using Google products. 

Today my adventure in Google Docs started with downloading my resume from SkyDrive and uploading it into Google Drive.  From there everything went bad.  Talk about reformatting.  After spending time trying to reformat the resume so it would publish nicely, I ended up copying and pasting everything into a template.  At least now my resume looks presentable on the web.

This assignment is really applicable to all the ISTE.NETS.T standards, but two of these standards are highlighted with this exercise, Standard 2, "Design and Develop Digital Age Learning
Experiences and Assessments" and Standard 3 "Model Digital Age Work and Learning".  In regards to Standard 2, Google Docs allows a teacher to create and publish documents, spreadsheets, forms, and presentations for in class teaching and assessments.  It allows easy and anytime access for students and others  to see what is being taught in the classroom and what is being assessed.  Standard 3 is highlighted in this assignment by the modeling aspect of the standard.  By presenting ideas and theories to students it is modeling what is expected in real life.
