Google Docs is much like Microsoft Word, while Google Spreadsheets is like Excel. Both are easy for students to use.
- Go to the Fun with Wordle (template) Google Doc. I've given you access to this document. Complete the activity.
- Create
your
own Google Doc activity and save it in the Workshop folder so
others can access it. Consider who will edit the document. Also think
about whether the document will ever be published on the Web. Think
about the easiest way for students to use the document electronically.
- Individuals.
If
you want students to work on a document individually, you'll want to
create a template. Students will then open a copy of the original
document. You'll need to tell students where they should save the
document.
- Small Groups.
You may place the document into a group folder and share it with the
group. Members of the group will then collaborate. Think about how each
person will contribute to create synergy.
- Writing Roles: Brainstormer, Organizer, Writer, Editor, Polisher
- Element Roles: Characters, Settings, Plot, Synthesizer, Editor
- Perspectives: King, Jester, Farmer, Merchant, Laborer
- Entire Class. You may place the document in a class folder. Individuals will then make a contribution.
- Social Studies Examples: Children from St. James Episcopal studying the Iditarod sled dog race each added a slide to a
Huskies of the North project. See an example below:
- English Example: Members of the class add to the Character worksheet.
- English Example: Limericks. Students share the web address of their animation in a class Google Doc.
- Science Example: Scientist Wordle (template).
