Google Demo Slam: Epic Docs Animation. Google Demo Slam. Writing with Google Docs: Foster Collaboration & Creation (While Addressing Common Core) At ISTE, I had the pleasure of presenting in the Google theatre on Writing with Google Docs. It was a short presentation aimed at demonstrating how educators can use Google Docs to foster writing in its various stages. I wanted to share some of the my slides to inspire other teachers to explore how docs, spreadsheets, forms, drawing and presentation can be used in creative ways to foster writing. Just some general info on Google Docs… Google Documents is a great tool to facilitate collaboration. Group students together into writing groups working on a single document so they can research, brainstorm, and pre-write together. This is an example of a shared Google Document where a group of students were collaborating on one document to research “Crime and Punishment in Elizabethan England.”

Teachers can use Google Docs to facilitate synchronous or asynchronous debates on a topic in preparation for an argument essay. Engage students in effective, focused peer editing using Google Forms.

Hack College: Use Google Docs to Collaborate on Class Note Taking.

By Shep McAllister of HackCollege As college students, we survive by collaborating. We work together on group projects, form study groups, and share advice about the toughest professors. Despite all this, it occurred to me that nobody really works together to take notes. I'm not talking about sharing notes with your buddy who was too hungover to make it to class, I'm talking about actually working simultaneously on the same set of notes during a lecture. So why limit our class notes to what we as individuals are capable of writing down? I've been trying this out for a few weeks now in a couple of my classes (including one with Laura), so read on for a few tips and tricks I've picked up, then try them out yourself! 1. 2. 3. 6 Powerful Google Docs Features to Support the Collaborative Writing Process via @soxnevad @Getting_Smart #DigLN #EdTech, #IOLchat.

Washington, executive director of the National Writing Project, said: “Today’s young people are using a range of digital tools to compose and create in new and exciting ways.

It is a game-changing moment for teachers of writing. The very notion of what it means to write is shifting, and educators are faced with adapting their teaching practices to integrate new technologies while redefining writing and learning for the 21st century.” Google Docs is an online suite of digital tools that provides teachers with some powerful features to help students develop 21st century writing skills.
