  • One thing I’ve found helpful to do at the beginning of term is to create one document for each student with their name on it and then ask them to put any writing they do onto that. This saves a lot of hassle constantly creating and sharing Docs and makes them a lot easier to locate on Google Drive. It also has the added advantage that students and teachers can easily look back and see what feedback they got on previous writings and incorporate that into their new one.
  • do writing during a lesson and monitor their writing as they are doing it and provide ongoing comments to help guide them.
  • Another common classroom procedure that Google Docs can enhance is error correction. During the lesson, if you notice that students are making particular speaking or writing errors, you can collect them on a Google Doc and then share them with the group either at the end of the lesson or for homework. I would set the sharing settings so that students could only comment on the mistakes rather than edit them, and then they could work in pairs/groups to make suggestions in the margins as to what the correct answer is.

  • A variation on the typical reading comprehension exercise is to copy and paste the text or article into a Google Doc and then set questions in the margins for students to respond to. These can be traditional comprehension/true or false questions  or questions about the language in the text. Responding to these questions can be set up as a jigsaw activity so only certain groups or individuals answer certain questions. Alternatively, everyone answers all questions and the responses can be seen stacked on top of each other down the margin.

  • they’ve grown as writers and thinkers
  • enter into conversations
  • I originally assigned six blog posts.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • I started out tracking their work through my Google Reader account
  • I quickly discovered viewing their posts in the Reader wasn’t sufficient.
  • The Reader still works wonderfully for reading comments,
  • As for assessing the blogs, working with the students, we designed rubric: Blogging Writer’s Checklist.
  • Utilize peer revision.
  • Let students choose which posts they want me to grade.
  • Group students in learning communities to monitor and encourage each other.
  • Hold student-led writing conferences.
  • biggest motivation for my students
  • has been having someone comment on our blogs
  • “comment blog,” an idea I got from Alan Levine, edublogger who devotes a week every year to commenting on others’ blogs. This will not only allow them read and explore other blogs, but will hopefully drive readers to their own blogs.
  • As a student, I like the idea of peer revision, student-lead writing conferences, and group work in class.
  • I wish our class could pair up with a couple other classes who are doing the same thing
  • I feel that I have grown as a writer because of this, we all have.
