Let’s get started ...
I am not a Google expert. I am just a teacher that, like you, loves technology.
Goal
Collaboration: the action of working with someone to produce or create something.
Getting Started with Google Apps
Remember… it’s a work in progress. Today YOU will be in the
students’ seats.
Experience what it is like to be part of my 3rd grade classroom.
Learn first hand which Google Apps I use and how.
Class Groups
Group yourselves into groups of 4. If this is not possible, groups of 5.
These are your classroom/collaboration teams.
Google Mail: The Keys to the Kingdom.
Mail is the core of collaboration● Contact groups● Class updates● Single login● Assignment directions● Links to websites● More!

We will focus on collaborating with Google Docs. Why? It is the app I use the most with my class.
What other apps would lend themselves well to collaboration?
Introducing Google Docs
Google Story- cool online tool that lets you model how Google Docs works.
Awesome way to introduce Docs to your classes! My Doc Story
Getting Organized in DocsLet’s give it a go! Go to your Drive ...
To collaborate, you must first organize.
Shared folders take the hassle out of sharing.
Notice:● Color coded folders● Sections for sessions● Student “documents”

If your student number ends in 0 open Student 10 Story

If your student number ends in 7 e.g. Student7, Student17 open Student7 Story.
