Google Docs has already been very useful. before taking this class I didn't know what Google Docs was. My daughter is home schooled and she has been working on a project with another girl who lives in Dayton. they had emailed their parts of the project back and forth several times only to realize the two parts where not cohesive and that they had totally different ideas of what the assignment was. Having never met i intriduced them to skype to sit and talk things through and to plan but now that they are using Google Docs the project has taken off and is much easier for the two girls who have never met in person.
My mother never heard of the Google docs. She just got a laptop and a her first Cellphone so I am not at all suprised. Her Microsoft Office trial is over and she likes to type letters to friends and mail them rather than use email. She would honestly still use her old typewriter if it had not broke a year ago. I sat her down and set her up the account. i added it to her favortites tool bar so it is easy to find. my mother does not have a printer so she called me and asked that I pull up her documents offline and print it for her at my home. I was able to go and proofread everything for her and add pictures of my daughter, her new grandbaby.
In my classroom I think the process of editing and proofreading is very important. Aligning with the Writing Application Standard, students will understand that various types of writing require different language, formatting and jargon. Students will be expected to display their understanding of literature by writing using different forms including a persuasive essay, a critical response, and a supplemental ending. They will understand that writing takes different forms for different reasons and use language, structure and audience. They are expected to effectively write in these different forms for the correct purposes. They are expected to use content specific language to reach the goal of the writing form.
Students can use Google Docs will meet the Writing Process Standard by engaging in all major phases of the writing process including prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and publishing. They will plan their writing for different purposes and audiences. Students will be able display appropriate writing skills by creating and producing works that reflect
effective word and grammatical choices as also stated in the Writing Conventions Standard. The students will show that they have developed strategies to improve the content, organization and language of their writing through the revision
process. Students also develop editing skills to improve their writing conventions.
Google Docs comes in hand during the writing process. students can collaborate with other students. in addition students can send me link so that i can help with their drafts.I used Google Docs to create a feedback response page to help give students clear feedback on each stage of the writing process for the portfolio. I wanted to give students an idea of how they were doing other than simply marking on their drafts. I also can give feedback on how the student is using the writing process and what is effective.
