Introduction
My philosophy of teaching is that there is always more than one way to learn and accomplish tasks and it is important to try new ideas while keeping the students, teacher and parent’s best interest in mind. Because my goal is to find a more efficient and useful way to communicate and collaborate with students and parents while also working collaboratively inside and outside of the classroom I will be utilizing Google Applications to enrich the teaching and learning experience. I believe that in education parents, staff and students are a team and we need to look at ways to make that team perform at their maximum capabilities. For example, Zoe Midler, an elementary school librarian at Flagstaff Academy found success with her implementation of Google Docs to communicate with parents, students and staff. She noted that utilizing Google Docs as a tool to post documents, useful information and communications in a timely way improved student ability to research along with involving parents because they were able to access and reference documents provided on Google Docs by Midler (Midler, 2012). Students would be able to share their research and offer tips to each other as an additional support and I will be able to upload lessons for students to view along with setting up a discussion board where they can ask questions directly to me. Students will collaborate in blogs sharing resources and will also be able to submit assignments through Google. I will also be able to keep track of grades and attendance through Google Classroom.
