In this course, students will learn how to use Google Drive and apps such as Google docs, Google slides, Google forms and Google sheets. Students will create a portfolio of work in Google Drive. They will use Google docs to type what they hear in dictations. They will use slides to tell their classmates something about their cultures, traditions, hobbies, or life experiences. Students will use Google Forms to ask their classmates for information. Students will then organize the information they learn about their classmates in charts.
Students will also study vocabulary and use that vocabulary in online discussions with classmates.
