 * 2) Google Docs is a collaborative program where you can create documents, forms, spreadsheets, presentations, and have multiple people contributing and sharing information. The best part is that you can get to it from anywhere you have internet access.
 * 3) **Application: How you are going to use this in your classroom/subject area description/lesson idea?** Today we sang a Valentines song with 1st grade. The children sit in a circle while one student skips around the circle carrying the "mail bag". The class sings, 'I hope I get a letter, a letter, a letter, I hope I get a letter from my valentine, I hope I get a letter, a letter, a letter, I hope I get a letter, saying you'll be mine!' The "mailman" delivers one valentines from the bag to a student in the circle. The valentine has a number on it, 1-5. There are 5 rhythms on the board each with a number 1-5 under them. The student that received the letter, gets to play that rhythm on the conga drum, and then becomes the new mailman.
 * 4) **21st Century Skill Addressed**:
 * • Initiative and Self-Direction-** The must pick the valentine and deliver it to someone that has not gone yet.
 * • Social and Cross-Cultural Skills-** They must be supportive and encouraging to the person that is playing the drum rhythm.
 * • Leadership and Responsibility-** After we sing it a few times, I step out and let the class self direct. The students must start the song on there own and keep it going.
