Today we were introduced to Google Doodles. Google Doodles is a branch of google that draw logos to go with a certain theme. The employees change the logo to meet the certain day. The doodles can illustrate a person, holiday, and an event. One thing that they do is open a contest for students k-12. They are judged by judges as well as the public. The winners drawings are featured on the website. Below I have posted some of my favorites. They all had amazing use of color and their designs were very well thought out. You could tell that they put a lot of effort into their work. I have posted the web address below. http://www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html Google Shopping is a online website that allows you to search for a product.

Google maps is a neat app that allows you to find certain places. It will give you step-by-step directions. It also allows you to see buildings using street view. The street view is very neat because you get to see real pictures. It is almost like you are walking down the street seeing these places in person.

Today we learned how to share a document with another classmate. We shared a document with them which allowed them to communicate and edit my page instantly. I could make it private so they can't edit it. That way they only have permission to view it and not make any changes. I can make so that anyone could view it even if they don't have a gmail account. I can make it a hyperlink that anyone can have access to. It is very user friendly and an overall great tool to use.
Volleyball practices are going well. We are taking it back to the basic with the serve, pass, set, and hit. We find out our teams later this week.
