      Regarding Relevance, I would probably add a check to decide if the app is grade-appropriate and that it will support student growth toward mastery of curricular standards, lesson objectives, etc.

Don't Let Google Drive Leave Tire Marks on Your Lesson Plans - 2 views

  •  
    Great article especially for those just beginning to incorporate Google Drive
  •  
    Agreed! Thanks Dorie. Also, with Google Docs integration in Haiku, students can "turn in" google docs to a Haiku assignment. All of the sharing is then handled automatically, and you, as the teacher, can launch, comment, and annotate the students work from within Haiku. This makes it very convenient! Likewise, if you add a google doc to a content block in Haiku, it will automatically be shared with the students in that Haiku class. When you add it, you may choose whether to grant viewing, commenting, or editing permissions on the doc to the students in the class. Then students can launch that document directly from your Haiku class. Google Docs + Haiku makes managing assignments in Google Docs/Drive much easier.
  •  
    One other thought: Bypassing Haiku for a minute, I have also read about teachers using a google form to "collect" assignments in Google Drive. Students "turn in" their assignments by completing a short form with their name and a title and description of the assignment. Then they paste the document url into the form. That way, the teacher has a spreadsheet with each student's name and a direct link to their assignment. So, the teacher can go line by line through the spreadsheet and grade and annotate each student's assignment. I thought this was a clever solution.

What Is A Flipped Classroom? (Updated For 2012) - Edudemic - 1 views

  •  
    via Edudemic http://edudemic.com
  •  
    This article is proposing that the students watch video lectures (prepared by the teacher or elsewhere) at home and come to school to work. This would keep students more actively engaged during class. This method would also provide more one-on-one time with the teacher as opposed to using all of the class time listening to the teacher.
