Welcome to the support wiki for the "Google Apps for Secondary Language Arts" workshop. Google and their partner Web 2.0 institutions offer a new paradigm for collaborative learning in "the cloud." Educators are constantly finding ways to transform old lessons and activities, or create new ones using Google's user-friendly resources. During this 8 day course, we will be working hands-on with the many tools offered in the free Google Apps suite. We will be focusing on the possibilities for writing instruction, research, literature, and communication skills, particularly when optimized by registering for //Google Apps for Education//. Many of the sample activities you complete (and create) in this workshop will be ready for direct transfer to your language arts classroom.

This course is intended for secondary language arts educators, grades 6-12.
