Step+5+-+Google+Docs

Google Docs can be a great support to your lesson and to your students. With Google Docs you can create online documents and PowerPoints for the class to refer to that are live on the web. You can use them as a set of directions or even a grading rubric. Students can use them as online supporting evidence of learning for their project. Let's look a little more at Google Docs.

It is also a great place to store documents to retrieve anywhere you can log in. Think about it, you could have all your homework assignments online in a document. You could have directions for a project in a powerpoint that even kids who are out sick could still access. You can give your students a survey, even make it a pre or post test to evaluate how much your students have learned after a unit. It is an amazing tool!
