Making the Most of Google Docs: Tips & Lesson Ideas Since attending the Google Teacher Academy in April, I have been trying to learn as much as possible about each Google application. The result? I am realizing how little I actually knew about these tools and how tragically I was underutilizing them! Take Google Docs, for example. I have been using Google Docs for a couple of years, yet I had no idea how much I could actually do with docs personally or with my students. So, in this blog want to share some information on basic functionality as well as fun ideas for using Google Docs (now Google Drive for some of us) with students. Back to Basics Let’s start with a definition, Google Docs “is a suite of products that lets you create different kinds of online documents, work on them in real time with other people, and store your documents and your other files — all online, and all for free.” Types of Docs: Documents Documents are a free online word processor. Forms Use forms to: – Collect student data & get to know them better Spreadsheets 1. 2.

Spreadsheets/Forms - Integrating iPads & Google Tools 4 Teachers Google offers a spreadsheet as part of its office tool suite. A spreadsheet helps you organize data in columns and rows and can generate graphs using the data. Google Spreadsheet has the added features of being stored online to allow access from any online computer. Here are some examples of how you can use Google spreadsheets: * Collect names, addresses, and emails of group members or class parents * Create a survey for opinions. votes, or preferences * Collaborate with others for data collection (ie, fast food nutritional information, State facts, Historical data) * Financial Planning or Budgeting * Plan a project * Collect and store student information Here's how: Before you start, decide how you want users to enter the data on a spreadsheet. * If you'd like users to access the Google spreadsheet and add the data directly on the spreadsheet, you can share the spreadsheet with them, just like you can with documents. Another option is to upload an existing Excel spreadsheet.
