Author+Report+form

Google Docs integrations is a great way for first grade students to use technology and learn to be "green". I like the format of the "Document" so that the students are able to clearly read the question and see the blank space to fill in. My lesson plan is a collaborative activity in that the students are randomly paired up, have to search for the information and post a link to the author's website since most have their own personal website. After completing the form, they are required to post it to my blog which is an interesting way to share information, comment and collaborate with their classmates. This type of electronic assignment will become more used in the future and I want the students to be exposed to this as early as first grade. I enjoy being able to show my skills while requiring they learn how to use electronic media as well.
