Using Google Docs in Your Class
Projects
Google Docs
allows students to work on their projects anywhere. When students submit
research papers through Google Docs, teachers can offer immediate feedback and
request changes. Google Docs allows students to investigate and add information from the Internet to the document they are writing.
Collaborative
Story
With Google
Docs students can work on a Doc at the same time. So they can work together on
a story, a script for a role-play, or other kind of writing project. They can
use the comments feature to give each other feedback and make decisions
together.
Brainstorming
Many students are visually and can see their own ideas better in a
graphic presentation. Shapes, arrows, and colors work better for such students
than spreadsheets and lists. Using the different graphics in Google Doc
students can see a flowchart of their ideas.
Google Docs is very useful, but teachers hate to
know how to use it. Here are some tips for them:
- Allow others to suggest edits in a Doc.
- Check spelling,punctuation and grammar.
- Use list of keyboard shortcuts to save lots of time while using Google Docs.
Using Google Docs in the classroom
Google Docs is constantly evolving, adding new features, and becoming more useful for teaching and learning. If you have not put Google Docs to the test, try with new ideas use Google Docs.
You shouldn't overgeneralize that teachers "hate to know how to use" this tool.
