You may already be familiar with office applications like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, but there are also online Web 2.0 tools that let you create documents, spreadsheets, and presentation files. When you use these Web 2.0 tools, you can access your files from any computer, and you can easily share them with other people. One option are the tools offered with your google account (since you have access to blogger, you also have access to a larger group of google tools).
This week explore Google Drive; what can you do with it that might help you in your schoolwork. If you have already used Google Drive, let us know how and for what class. You also have a school Google account. This week login to MyPlan and go to Google Apps on your dashboard. As part of this week's work, using your school Google account, please create and share a bulleted timeline of what has happened in the book you are reading for your book trailer. Feel free to use either Google Docs or Slides for the timeline.
There are many similar Web 2.0 tools. Take a look at an index of tools such as WebTools4u2use . Find a different tool that lets you create a presentation.Visit the presentation tool's site and be able to summarize what types of presentations you can create and how it is different from Photoshop and Powerpoint.

Your blog posting for this week should include 3 items:
- Your thoughts on how you could or have used Google Drive in your schoolwork. A link to the book trailer timeline document you created in your school Google drive account (remember to get into it via MyPlan. Make sure to share it so that we can all see it. Here's the link to my book trailer timeline in my Google Docs.
- A Web 2.0 presentation tool that you selected from your search of WebTools4u2Use. Make sure to provide the link as well as a review of the tool. Include in your review what the tool was designed to do, how it is different from PhotoStory and Powerpoint.
- Create a glog on Glogster. Have fun but make this something that we can all look at. Embed your glog in your blog post. Mine follows.
Just a reminder, you should be commenting on each of your fellow library assistants' blogs weekly. Also, if you have not finished a module on Everfi get working. You need to have two modules completed by the end of the semester.
