Google Applications in the Classroom

Where has Google Classroom and Google Education Apps been all my teaching Life. If you are not using them you need to start. In this blog post I will be sharing the Google Applications that I cannot live without in my classroom!! This information is just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the great teach apps and software that Google has created for teachers! Read and the explore these resources for your own.
































Google Docs: Is a word processor provided by Google. It does and allows cool things!

 #1 is that it allows collaboration. Students can share a document with me and I can help them real time from anywhere around the world. They can also work with each other. I have been out of state and been able to help students with their assignments. 

#2 inserting images without extra tabs. It streamlines the addition of Googe Images into your teaching materials! It is such a time saver. 

#3 is paper set up. Google Docs will set up your paper in MLA or APA and even cite. Google Docs even has an add-on which will help you create  rubrics It is an amazing tool!


Google Slides: I use presentations often to convey information to my students. Google Slides has made them so much easier to share, update and make interactive. It is number one. Google slides will allow to add videos from YouTube straight to your presentation without leaving slides.

 Students can create Presentations and/or posters. Students can collaborate on a presentation and not be in the same room at the same time. 

This education resource cannot be beat!

I use Google Forms to create test and quizzes that I then post to my classroom for students to take. Students take all my tests off campus. This APP will event grade your tests as the students take them. Students will know in real time what they made on the test. You can set it up to rotate test questions so each student gets a different version of the test. OMG this is a lifesaver. You can embed the test into your Google classrooms. No printing test papers and no grading...Teaching made easy!


Google Classroom
For those of us who are very disorganized teachers. Google Classroom helps you keep EVERTHING in one location. You can assign tests, assignments, quizzes and students can even turn everything in ! It is amazing. Google classroom has made being a teacher so much easier.  I organize my posts by date. So when students miss they can go to the date and find their assignments and handouts. No keeping up with excess papers. Students can do it all themeselves. 


Thank you Google for making being a teacher better!

Yeast Bread Mixing Methods

Yeast Bread Mixing Methods Straight Dough Method is a one step mixing method in which all the dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt and yeast are mixed, and then wet ingredients such water and eggs are added. All the ingredients are then mixed straight to dough. It is the easiest of all yeast bread mixing methods. Sponge and dough is a two-step bread mixing process. The first step in this method is making the sponge which consists of a certain amount of flour, yeast and water. This mixture is allowed to ferment. The second step is adding the sponge to the rest of the ingredients to form the final dough. Old Dough Leavening aka Mother Dough or Preferments is exactly what it sounds like, a piece dough from a previous batch of dough is held back and used to help leaven the new loaf. This type of leavening with give more complex flavors because the old dough has been developing stronger fermenting flavors. Sourdough (Preferment) is a “natural leavener” it is made...

Kneading!!!

Kneading Techniques “Working the Dough” Kneading is one of the most known terms in baking, but do you really understand its importance.  Could you recognize if you have a well kneaded product? Do you know the different kneading techniques? Do you know how to test if you have kneaded well enough? When I set out to create my lesson plans over baking, I could answer a few of those questions listed above. I had an idea about what I was looking for, but I did not know half of the information that I kneaded to know. So as I researched, I found information that I think all teachers, students, and aspiring bakers need to know.  Why Knead Kneading develops a gluten network (net) As flour is hydrated gluten strengthens and adds to the structure of the dough. Gluten helps to bind the dough together and helps it keep from falling apart during baking Gluten creates a net in the bread product that captures carbon dioxide produced by yeast. ...
