Day+12


 * Today (this week) we will be**
 * Setting up a your **Google Acct** and sharing documents. A few of you have already completed this. If you are already doing this. Here are some instructions on how to set up a google account and start a document. Google (and most) websites change often and have very good instructions so mine may or may not be perfect! I demonstrated this last time and many of you thought it worth while. I do not plan on doing this for long but please get the following completed.
 * You know have a Google account
 * Can start a document (doc is most common)
 * Can share a document. (Settings)
 * We already discussed ways this can useful in the classroom with students.
 * **Group time**. You have asked to have collaborative time to work with colleagues and share ideas. The rest of the time will be yours in small groups/departments. At the end of the time I will ask that your small group share you best results / discussion with the whole group.

We had some issues trying to create documents on iPads. It seemed to keep crashing. Darn technology and "upgrades" It did not used to crash! Please also see my page on Oly Apps about Google under "The Big three". (Link to it)

Mark is going to send word about our final meeting(s) and final discussions to wrap this year's iPad "disruption" and future plans. I do not know when or where that will be but look for his message soon.
 * Lastly**

As of Tuesday the day we did Google Docs training... [|https://drive.google.com/start#home] Google has released Google Drive. Here is a quote from the Washington Post..." The hook with Drive is that it integrates the rest of Google’s document handling and editing services. That means your Google Docs page is now replaced with Drive, and files can be manipulated on the Web once you’ve synced them. **(In fact, “Google Docs” no longer exists in the company’s vocabulary.)**
