What did you create and why?
I created a new folder within my Google Drive for all of my summer tech classes so that I can keep all of my new resources in one location. I also converted one of my old files to a Google format so that it can be edited by students next year.
What worked well?
It was easy to move documents into new folders within Drive.
What was challenging?
I want to be able to send a form and receive responses in a spreadsheet as an easy way to check over students' work.
What did you enjoy?
I really liked the videos that demonstrated how to use the various functions. I am sure that I will use plenty of the links from the Cybraryman page!!
What ideas do you have to share?
I am excited to be able to share folders with my grade level team. Then with access to add comments, we can work together to help plan in a more concise way.
I am also still thinking through having students do all of their writing curriculum entries through Google Docs. I like the ability to go back and see the archives of changes that have been made. I am excited to use this comment feature to provide more feedback for students in a timely manner.
I'm glad had time to explore some of the amazing features of Google Drive and thanks for letting us know you found the videos to be helpful. You're idea to share documents with your grade level team will allow you all to work smarter, not harder! Using Google Docs for all student writing also allows students to edit and comment on each other's writing easily and puts the work on the students-here it belongs!
