a student handout), share it, but make sure they can only VIEW.○ Have students open the document and go to File, then Make a Copy○ They can edit the copy. Name it immediately so that when they share

it back with you it reflects the owner’s name

Google Drive--Simple Ways to Use Google Docs in the Classroom● Create a google slideshow for a topic with ONLY headers

and minimal information. Share the slideshow with all students, ask them to “make a copy,” and have them work through their reading material and respond within each frame

● Create a google slideshow with only headers, and share it with one member of each group. Each group would be responsible for one frame, and they can use the frame to write down their analyses or syntheses of the material for the day. As each group finishes, the slideshow becomes a platform for whole class sharing as each group stands to explain its frame

Google Drive--Simple Ways to Use Google Docs in the Classroom● Use a google spreadsheet for project submissions.

When students complete projects using online digital platforms, have them copy and paste the url for their projects into a form. Share the form with the whole class, and have students view projects and write comments in the cells.

● Use google docs for all writing assignments. Use the comments feature in google docs instead of the “red pen.” You can even download Kaizena (an add-on), which will allow you to record VOICE comments.
