Hello Again,
There are many tools that we all utilize on daily basis when using technology. In fact, teachers can even benefit from these tools in the classroom while teaching their students! One example of this is “Google Docs”. Google Docs is a free web based application that provides document sheets, and several google apps in this program such as, docs, sheets, and slides. Not only can you write a paper directly from google docs but a teacher can also create a lesson and utilize this teaching tool. Futhermore, Below is a great example of how Google Docs is used in the classroom!
EXAMPLES OF HOW A TEACHER MAY USE GOOGLE DOC APPS IN THE CLASSROOM:
1. Slides: Sharing Powerpoint presentations in the classroom
2. Forms: Create practice quizzes/assessments/creating surveys
3. Sheets: Stating/sharing data
4. Docs: Writing papers/grading papers
5. Google classroom: A new/interesting area to complete assignments
Lesson plan example:
- This link shares the full page to this lesson plan that suggests using word, spreadsheet, and/or presentation. Google Docs can allow YOU to use those plus MORE for FREE. However, I believe google docs is a useful technology tool that can be used in any classroom at any grade level. I hope to use Google Docs in my future classroom one day. How about you?
