A review of the 2013 Google Summit in Melbourne. The post is littered with resources from the event associated with Google Sites and the implementation of GAFE.
"Preparation for webinar series focusing on using GAFE to teach writing. A curated list of detailed features (that are easy to use and access) within Google Docs."
Educators may want to know how to use these features to jazz up writing assignments and make a more creative, personalized document."
This is a very comprehensive post from Vicky Davis. It is a consolidation of the many things that Google can offer teachers and students. They are categorized under useful headings, many links to follow up and some useful videos are also embedded.
"When you're wanting to use Google Docs/Drive with students, figuring out which workflow works best for you is one of the biggest challenges. How to access something I want students to turn in to me? How do I put a file out there for my students to have access to? I wanted to share a couple ways that teachers in my district have been doing that. I know they aren't the only ways it can be done but teachers have had a lot of success with them."
"Google openly collects user data from its online services but not via apps for education, but there is concern that the online activity of teenagers is being analysed for targeted advertising."
"Classroom helps teachers create and collect assignments paperlessly. When teachers create assignments, they can choose to share a single document, or automatically make a copy for each student. They can quickly see who has or hasn't completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback."
