Learning to be Googley

Googley??? Is that a word? In our class it is. 

This was our first task where we had to learn how to toggle between multiple tabs to create our Google Slides. We began our social studies unit learning about various tribes in North Carolina. Each group was assigned a tribe to become experts on. As they researched and gathered information, they had to enter it into a basic graphic organizer that was in their Google Classroom. I kept it basic because learning to be Googley can be difficult. 

I thought that this would be an easy task, but boy was I wrong! I had to start with the basics of showing them how to toggle between tabs (without closing the tabs). Working and transferring information between four tabs is quite the task for a 10 year old. So after a day of learning to navigate... they were working away and gathering all the needed information for part 2 of our project...GreenScreen 

Using the graphic organizer in Google allowed them to collaborate and help each other research. It was really cool to see them working together while working independently.
