1st graders become Google experts!

First grade has been learning about their Google accounts and how to best use them.  They are turning into quite the publishers!  There are many steps necessary before they are ready to publish their first writing project.  They have to learn how to unlock the computer, how to log on to their grade level desktop, how to open a web browser, and how to sign on to their Google account.  Once they get through all of these steps, their natural creativity is unleashed!  They learned how to start a new project and choose the font type, color, and size.  Each day had a different writing prompt.  They also learned how to do a safe search for images that correspond to their writing and insert them into the written words.  For this project we used Google Slides and Google Docs.  When they finished their presentations, they gave their projects a title and shared them back to their teachers and myself.  This prepares them for the next few years when they will be using their Google accounts to collaborate on projects and communicate with their teachers.  Go, first graders!  You are ready!
