I have been introduced and used Google Docs in the classroom before exploring Module 3. Therefore I thoroughly enjoyed being interactive in this module. The first video titled "Google Docs in Plain English" is a quick and quirky way to explain what Google Docs is and how it operates.
It could be a way to teach our students!
I am excited to discover that this type of web 2.0 application is being used in the classroom. I must admit that although I am familiar with the application and have used it once, I have neglected it in my very own classroom. However after today Module 3 has inspired me to introduce Google Docs to my students. It not only shares information but it keeps the students updated with activities and assessments. I find myself having the same issue with students loosing assessment outlines and now I can use Google Docs to attach these worksheets and make modifications where necessary. Goodbye email attachments, hello Google Docs.
Other ways I can use Google Docs in my KLA (Textiles & Design/ Food Technology) include:
- conduct surveys for students to fill in as part of market research
- assign students to create powerpoint presentations collaboratively
- pre-test students through forms
I wonder how interactive the students will be?
