alg pretest
Pretests are a good way to determine where kid are at. I would like to use these in a form that captures student's results and we can go over in class. Google docs are pretty universally accessible and I would use this pretest for kids during the first week of school. We also plan to have videos for kids to watch on the cloud.
The only real drawback to using the cloud is the misuse by students when they are online. We have problems with kids taking photos and sending texts on the iPads.
Because essentially all of my teaching materials are electronic, they take up a lot of space and access can be a hassle. I like using a cloud (if i actually know what it is) so i can access materials at home rather than sending emails with huge attachments
If you upload a Word document, make sure that you turn conversion on. Otherwise you're essentially uploading a PDF, so students can't answer your pretest. You could also make your test as a Google Form, which would collect their answers in a spreadsheet. Creating a Google Form is part of Activity 8, so give it a try! :)
