This is a great video if you are a teacher or trainer and what to set up collaborative activities with Google Docs. Ideal for blended or flipped learning. I take you step by step through the process of how students can all be working on a document and how to organise the document so that the students can easily work together and easily contribute to the document.
I have used Google Docs in collaborative situations literally hundreds of times and so this video will provide you with some great ideas and some great tips. Ideal for any sort of training/teaching where you want students working in collaborative contexts like group work, class work or pair work.
This is a short five minute video which goes through group work activities in Google Docs. You can use Google Docs to teach online or teach from home. The main thing is that this tutorial will guide you through the key features of Google Drive. You can use Google docs, sheets and even embed these into an online classroom, such as Google classroom. This is a simple piece of educational technology. This training video will show you briefly how to get your students or learners to collaborative. You can get up and running really quickly. Instructions can be given in the document. I show you how to do this.
You can create a table and change the font if necessary. You can, for example, get students to watch a video and offer a link to the video. Google and RUclips are linked and easily connected. Share a video from RUclips onto your Google Document. Students can watch the video you share the link to. They can comment below and edit, but we can do is create a table so that all your learners don’t overlap. This avoids the risk of your students erasing or changing other learners’ contributions to the document.
Russell Stannard has been training teachers in using Google software for many years. This is one example of a video that he makes about using Google Suite tools to help learners collaborative or work together. This video shows some of the settings for one particular kind of Google Suite features, which is Google Documents. Online teaching and remote teaching require a lot of asynchronous learning. Asynchronous learning is basically when the teacher sets a task and learners complete the task in their own time, rather than during a webinar or virtual classroom where the teacher is always present.
This is a teacher training video about making the most of effective online teaching. This video is about using Google Documents. This is one just one type of asynchronous learning tool, courtesy of the Google Suite platform. The great thing about Google Docs is that the students are able to collaborate. There is a share button. Russell shows you what the options are in the share button. You can add an email or email addresses. However, if you get a shareable link we can send this to other members of the group and can set what they actually do. In this video you can allow them to edit, too. Imagine that the document has been created and then we need to share the link to all your learners. They can share the link with each other, too. If we log in as a learner, this has options. I show you here what it is like from the learner or student’s point of view. Once the learner has watched the video, for example. They can work directly on the document and all other learners will see any updates with immediate effect. This is a simple but effective way of getting students to collaborate. Having a table makes organising easier and helps the teacher to read and offer any feedback needed.
Online or remote teaching is becoming more and more commonplace. This teacher training video is a short tutorial on using Google Documents. Distance Learning, Remote teaching, synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods. Quick tutorial which shows what you can do with Google Docs.
I've recently started using Docs and got lucky to find your videos as you make it too easy and practical. Thank you for the favor... I also want to ask if students have to comment on each others work like if groups have written stories, how can they check each others work i.e. peer checking? what should be the way? Can they use the insert comment option? or is there a way for the teacher to grant them access? Please do guide... respect
Great question. One thing you can do is to get them to comment in a different colour font and I have done that before. Another option is as you said, to get students to add comments using the comments boxes. Both ways work really well. I am glad the video was useful and thanks for the kind comments.
@@ttvRussell Bless you
Really like it. Very cooperative activity. Challenging too. Thanks
I am glad. Link to more Google Tools:ruclips.net/p/PLqYj2sOxDkVwtx-kWvKlBHS9ooB0WS0Sb
I am using this idea, which I just stumbled upon, for teaching A Christmas Carol to my 7th-8th grade students. I just love the idea and have created some of my own ways of evaluating the shared collaborative table after students answer questions about each section of the story. Each group always collaborates on answering a set of 4-5 questions and then:
1--Each student reads their own answers aloud (what they contributed) and teacher makes verbal comments (praise and constructive criticism)
2--Group members write answers individually and then collaborate in the classroom to help each group member improve their answers (teacher writes comments on doc---both praise and constructive criticism)
3--Group members answer questions and then must write comments of their own evaluating other groups' answers (each student must write 2 positive comments and 2 constructive criticisms somewhere on the collaborative doc )
4-- Group members answer questions and then in class we read each groups' answer to each question and have a secret ballot vote on who has the best answer (most complete, most thought-out, best written, covered all of the angles, quoted the book etc)
5--Group members answer questions and then in class we vote on which group has the MOST overall strong answers to the questions. This is a good check to see if students are helping each other to come up with great answers and not just relying on one person with great answers while everyone else has weak answers.
Thanks for the great idea in using a shared doc to teach in this way. It is always nice to find a new way to teach something!
Wendy, lovely idea and lovely to read. Glad the video was useful. I do very similar things with my students. I really like the staging of the activity.
Thank you! It's been very useful! Very easy to follow!
Thank you Elza for a your nice comments
Thank you! Very easy to understand.
You are welcome, Kimberly. More videos on using Google Docs here: bit.ly/2XZlK4M
Hi Russell, thanks for your useful videos again.
Glad you like them! I put loads of videos on my website about Google and they are very popular. You might find them useful. www.teachertrainingvideos.com/google-tools-for-educators
thanks a lot for this video, it helps me to understand how to use it correctly.
You are welcome! I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Great video for idiots like me who should've begun using this sort of thing years ago. Thank you!
Really glad that my videos are helpful. I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Great info. Thanks so much. But I have a question regarding sharing to other group member which you forgot to mention. That is privacy. Once I created the group, does the group have the access to any of the email? Or no? How can I manage?? I think it was vital if you did add how to manage the account for privacy. Please reply back. Thank you.
Sorry, didn't I show you in the video how to make the Doc available. It has no impact on your gmail. I normally set the link so that it is public and can be accessed by my students but that has no implication for anything else.
@@ttvRussell Yes Yes Yes!! I did see your video. Thanks a million and i do apologize for not seeing your video or explore inside your videos before i did write. Thank you
Thank you so much indeed sir.
