Collaborative Note-Taking with Google DocsThe beauty of Google Apps truly lies in the collaborative features. One of my favorite strategies is collaborative note-taking. When students are able to take notes together, it allows them to learn from each other AND gives the teacher a way to check for understanding.

Sample Lesson

Power point Let's talk

For this collaboration Kim Schnier's fifth graders chose a book to read and then worked with a small group.

She created a visual timeline for them to guide their work and assigned this template to a Team lead in Schoology - who then shared it with the group.

For asynchronous collaboration, student groups customized the template to fit their group personality and then added slides and wrote letters back and forth to each other. They commented on the letters their group members wrote by writing back or adding a video response.

For a synchronous element, students met as a small team using Teams - led by the Team lead who posed questions to the group, and they had meetings with Schnier, who participated as a member and discussed her own choice book.
