Help Conserve Water!

        It might be hard the get the concept but the world is actually running out of water. Of course we have wide vast oceans but it is extremely expensive to convert salt water to pure, fresh water. There are so many countries in the world that don’t have enough water. In the U.S we are so lucky to have a working shower and kitchen sink and we take it for granted. There are so many things we can do to help preserve water. The first and probably most important is to stop taking super long showers. I am a victim of taking long showers and I have to say that it is hard to quit but it is really important that you do because all of that water just gets washed down the drain. Another thing is not to leave the faucet running for too long. Just remember that there are little things you can do to preserve water because we are so lucky to have more than enough, where as in parts of the world people have to walk miles to get water for them and their family. We are so lucky.

Google Docs.

     One tool that I think is really important in the classroom is Google Documents. It is a web tool to create documents (like word documents) but you can have multiple people work on it at the same time from different computers. It is great for group projects or for teachers to make changes to it or comment on it. It is also great for taking notes in class because multiple people can have access to it. It is a great tool to use in the classroom and it makes group projects go so much smoother if everyone can’t meet in one place to type up something. You can upload photos and type just like on a word document. It is really helpful in class and I think it is a tool that defiantly should be used in classrooms.
