California Association of Teachers of English Presentation- English 2.0

Students love technology and social media. Come learn how we are leveraging this interest to increase student engagement in Language Arts. See what happens when students talk as characters in a chat room, and blog posts on theme. We will share student work samples from specific projects using Google Apps, Blogger, Today’s Meet and other free, web-based platforms. Hear about our challenges and successes, and have an opportunity to brainstorm applications for your classes.

What We Like About Google Drive:

  • We’re assuming you know about Google Drive (basically MS Office in the cloud), here are some of the things we do with it

 

  • Forms
    • “Share it” Form - A blog entry to be graded, mention blanks at end for comments and grading, mention time stamp - Andy
    • Using forms to survey students and graphically represent results- Patti

 

  • Docs
    • “View Only” and make a copy - To “hand out” paper (as an aside, when it comes time for students to share their document, I’d use the same form that Andy uses) - Mel
    • Peer Editing Using  Google Docs (Can you add the rubric?) - Patti

 

  • Blogger
