Digital Learning Reimbursement 4 - Creating and Editing Documents

Currently, I use google drive to store many documents, both personal and professional. During the school year, I used google drive to store my learning goals on a PowerPoint. Since is shared a classroom and had to travel, being able to store all my lessons, worksheets, learning goals, etc. in none place was invaluable. I could work on them at home or in a different building, and still have them ready and available for me during the class time I needed them. 

One way I have used google docs with my students was creating presentations. Although they could not edit on the iPad, we were able to collaborate and share. I used the comments section to grade and provide instant feedback on assignments while students were working. I have also done collaboration with groups writing papers. Each student has an iPad, and each of them need to create a document. I set it up so a each student has a color, so I can see what each student is contributing. I have also used the forms and had students use the iPads to do quizzes or answer questions for formative assessment. 

I would like to incorporate a grade book into google docs with my students. To post their missing assignments and keep a running total for their grade so they can see how they're doing in class.

  1. I am excited that you are using Google Drive with your students! Please let me know how I can support you in the future with this.

    Inside of a Google Doc you can go to

    File
    See Revision History

    to see what each student did to contribute to the document without having them color code it. When viewing in revision history it will show you with color coded letters.
