On an e-Journey with Generation Y 
Thanks! Tania Sheko and Glenda Morris for sharing and introducing such a wonderful and powerful tool to us. It has definitely given me great insights on what and how we can use Google apps in the classroom. I’ll be exploring to find out more about Google apps for educators. And I’m definitely going to share this with my teaching colleagues here, most likely through an in-house training slot. Once again, a million thanks to Tania and Glenda..and also you, too, Anne! Kudos for a great sharing session!

Hi Veronica. Thanks for attending this session. I like using google – especially the docs, forms, sheets, calendar due to their potential interactivity, ability to enable collaboration etc. I love the fact that I can be organised with the calendar and other apps and that they are stored in ‘the clouds’ so that I can access them wherever I have a computer. Which apps do you think you could use and which would you share, first? Hope you can attend next week’s session as Rob is enjoys working in the collaborative fields too with videoconferencing.
Hi Veronica, I’m glad you found the Google tools useful, and thankyou for the kind feedback. If it wasn’t for Anne I wouldn’t have had the courage to present. It was fun!
