TOOL #4

OK, I am so happy that I finally learned how to use and access Google Docs.  I love the idea of not worrying about bringing a flash drive with me when I need to access a document, and I like that I can use a document on either a PC or Mac.   I created a lesson plan template from the thousands of examples and shared it with Judy and Joanna.  Judy and I were able to work on it to play around .  VERY COOL!   My concerns about students publishing documents for grading through Google Docs are listed below. 
  • How are we supposed to grade work that a student starts at school but finishes at home?  According to our grading guidelines we are not supposed to take a grade if the child took the work home.
  • Last year I had a student get mad at a friend while they were working on project so he erased the other student's work. 
  • We also had problems printing the work.

  1. You can use revision history to see when and how a document was changed. It is very detailed. So, that should help with both questions #1 and #2. Printing can be challenging. I would recommend opening the document on a full-sized laptop and seeing if that affects the printing. You might also need to format the document.
