Why use Google Docs? Increase efficiency, collaboration, and student engagement
Why use Google Docs? -users always have most recent version -autosaves every few seconds -multiple users can edit at same time -Mac or PC -work saved in the ‘cloud’
Examples for Teachers: -collaborate on lesson plans -share meeting notes and agendas -share folders with students -Google Forms for surveys -Google Presentations to share info -Template gallery
Survey results: View data results in visual form- automatically generated
Student examples: -Work collaboratively on presentations at school or at home (NETS) -Keep a log of writing samples, journals -Use chat and comment features to peer edit -Use revision history to prevent loss of work - Publish student work
Example #1- Class Review for test 1) Create a shared doc-- ‘anyone can edit’ 2) Divide students into groups--each responsible for specific topic 3) Show the document ‘live’ on your class projector
Example #2- Google Art Project 1) Students selected piece of art to research using Google Art Project -Education resource http://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/about/artproject/education/expert/ 2) Students shared ‘work in progress’ with teacher; add comments back and forth 3) Students presented to class; shared presentations (View only- with other students) as a resource
Example #3 Student essay revisions
How to Create a document: Click on the red ‘create’ button, then ‘document’.
Or, click on the ‘upload’ button to upload an existing document or folder.
Give your document a title (top left) Type your information- similar tools to Microsoft Word.
Adding Comments -Peer edits, reminders, suggestions -determine notification options -mark as ‘resolved’
Notifications from comments Select your choice:
Revision History To check student contributions and edits or revert to earlier version: File> See revision history
Sharing documents Click the blue ‘share’ button (top right of doc) Share a syllabus- ‘view only’ Share an assignment- ‘view only’; students can make a copy of it and edit it
Sharing documents Students can share their documents or presentations with the teacher and allow the teacher to ‘comment’ and view
Challenge #1 Beginner: Create a document, enter text and insert an image. Share the doc with a friend in the room- with ‘editing’ enabled. Share an idea of how to use docs. Intermediate: Upload an existing document from your school files and convert it to a PDF. Help your neighbor. Advanced: Upload an existing document, convert to a Google Doc. Upload a folder. Share with a co-teacher.
Good to know: -Only files that are ‘not’ converted to Google Docs will count against your 30 GB storage -you can convert documents at a later time (right click and ‘open with’…) -You can upload entire folders and subfolder organization remains the same -Note: keep URLs short by using https://bitly.com/ or http://tinyurl.com/
