 The
most
sweeping
change

not
be

much
with
the
ability
to
publish

as
it
is
the
ability
to
share
and
connect
and
create

with
many,
many
others
of
like
minds
and
interests.

GOOGLE DOCS
Dynamics of Curriculum and Instruction

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS

GOOGLE FOR EDUCATORS
VIDEO

• http://www.google.com/educators/p_docs.html


BASICS OF GOOGLE DOCS
• Problem: Sharing docs via email is inefﬁcient and confusing.

• GD uses The Cloud.

• You can have full control over the doc.

• Sign in with your Google account.

• You can upload docs and make them GDs.

• Share with collaborators.

• Can also create Spreadsheets, Drawings, PowerPoints
(Presentations), Forms


DEMO OF THE BASICS


CONCRETE IDEAS

• Assessing Student Writing and Collaborative Assessment

• Allowing others to collaborate by sharing GDs

• Google Doc’s Forms

• Create assessments and have easy way to collect data

• Lab Data, Quick surveys, formative assessment notes

• Create review sheets for all your students-can share with all or
just one.

CONCRETE IDEAS

• Sharing grades or other numerical data via spreadsheets.

• Share assessment data among colleagues:

• Discipline, academic, common assessments, anecdotal
comments on kids

• Student assessment of student presentations via Google
Forms


CONCRETE IDEAS

• Digital Portfolios (Could be shared with the student easily)

• Create a “Collection” for each student

• Drop any digital piece in the collection.

• Student can add reﬂections

• Collect, Select, Reﬂect


MOBILE DEVICES

• I’ve used GD with iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android
devices.

PODCASTING


WHAT’S A PODCAST?

• Simply an audio or video (radio/TV) presentation
that airs over the Internet and is easily accessible.

• It often involves multi-tracks.


WHY IS IT USEFUL FOR
EDUCATORS?
• Administrators can “get the • Itcan become, essentially,
word out”on school events your radio station.
and present the school’s
vision. • REMEMBER: Start simple!

• Teachers can involve
students and provide a very
solid project tool that can be
shared with the school and
outside community.

DIIGO
Social Bookmarking


THE PROBLEM

• You have many web sites that you have love and have
bookmarked. How do you organize them so that you can ﬁnd
them again?

• And...how do you ﬁnd good vetted educational web sites
instead of searching through thousands on Google?


USE DIIGO OR DELICIOUS

• Bill’s Diigo site


WIKI’S


WIKIS...

• Are like Google Docs in that many can collaborate

• Yet, they look more like web pages.

• Great for storing information

• Most popular: Wikispaces, Wetpaint, and PB Works


SCREENCASTS
Screenr


POWER OF SCREENCASTS

• Can be used as brief training videos.

• Combines your computer screen with voice.

• Client software and web software

• Easy web example: Screenr


SCHOOL

SCHOOL TUBE

• Better vetting than You Tube

• Can be assured that the videos are appropriate
