- How Google Docs promote active learning and collaboration among students?
This week we explored how to use google docs, google slides to create course materials. My experience of using google doc begin with sharing information or collaborating with classmates on article writing. It was an effective way to build up texts with multiple group members when working or studying together. I have tired several other applications such as Evernote and EtherPad (by clicking on their names you could see the introduction and tutorials of these tools). The main characteristics of google docs are easy accessibility, digital storage assurance, multiple group work support and sharing/ editing friendly. With google tools, teachers can also facilitate and supervise students' learning process, give comments and suggestions in time, and of course, get feedbacks immediately. Google doc is vastly compatible with everyone’s technology, most importantly, it's for free.

Nice work with the Slides and Doc. I highlighted a paragraph in your Google Doc that I really liked. I used the comment feature to leave behind a little message. You can go back and check it out when you have some time.

I love Google Suite. Bringing this into my classroom has been a game changer for my students. Their ability to collaborate and truly work together (even if a student is absent or while they are at home) is so beneficial. All of the features and ease of use makes it a go to for sure and the fact that it is all FREE does help!
