Google Docs

This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PowerPoint about previous T3PP results. Specifically google docs in the google list. I have used google docs all throughout high school and college and thought it would be a fun topic to find more information about. 

What is Google Docs?

Google docs is apart of google drive, and is free to anyone who has access to internet and device that can reach the internet. Google docs allows anyone to create, upload, save, share, and collaborate on documents. I think my favorite part of google docs is how easy it is to work with classmates on a group project. All it takes is the sharing of an email and anyone in the group can now work on the document. The other part of google docs that I like is that it automatically saves all work that has been done. I have worked saved from when I was a freshman in high school, seven years ago. All of these reasons are why I believe Google Docs is so versatile. Google docs is very easy to use. The only requirement to be able to access it is by having a google account. Once you have the google account you are free to start writing.

How it relates to the 7 Events Frameworks

Google docs relates 7 events framework. It can be used when assessing the lesson outcome. I will be able to let my students work on what they learned by writing paragraphs on the same document, then I can grade everyone's work all together and leave comments on their document. I can also use Google Docs to present any of our learning outcomes for the lesson.

It is very likely that I will use Google Docs in my future classroom. Not only will I have the students use it for when they are writing essays or doing group work with writing, but I will use it myself. I can write my lessons plans in google docs, I will use it when providing instructions to any lesson our class will be doing in that day.
