Google Docs Sediment Formation

How Do Big Rocks turn into smaller rocks?



UEN: 
Standard 2 Earth and Space Science. Students will gain an understanding of Earth and Space Science through the study of earth materials, celestial movement, and weather.
Objective 1 Describe the characteristics of different rocks.
Explain how smaller rocks come from the breakage and weathering of larger rocks.


Education Technology:
Standard 8 Use technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem-solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities. (5, 6)



ISTE:
Standard 4 Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making.

The tool that I used was google docs. This is a great tool that anyone can utilize if you have a google account and it doesn’t cost anything. This tool is great because you can type, create assignments, and learn. I will use this tool because it’s a great way to create and share information with your students and even their parents.

The pros of this tool is that it is free and convenient. It’s also a good way to share information with others in one click. All of your files are available anywhere you have internet.

The cons of this tool is that it takes a little bit of research to learn how to do. When first using it, it is a bit confusing.

I will use this tool to present information in my classroom and also to make assignments because it's an easy and convenient way to store documents that are accessible through your email. It’s also a good option if you all you have is a desktop computer because if you use this, you can get your files anywhere that you need them.

My students can utilize this tool because it is an easy form of information sharing and you can easily share these documents with others. It would also be helpful to use when a student may be absent because you can send them the assignments or let them know what they may have missed out on.
