Thing 10- Collaboration




Shared document link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-M3Jul6tRzTTv5Y-x-zpxhhYzZnkVLe3TF7OwFwpYw8/edit?usp=docslist_api

Reflection: I created a personal shared document. My family and I are always talking about fun vacations we should go on. I sent a document to them so we could all put our ideas on a shared piece of paper. Hopefully one day we will be able to go on an awesome family vacation!
  A fellow staff member and myself created a Google Doc to share with the rest of the staff about all of the sessions we attended at MACUL. We were able to update the document after each session. The information included the session title, any resources that were given, and the website with the presentation. Staff are able to view it and ask any questions. It was a great way to share information from a large conference with the entire staff.
   I could see how general education classrooms would use Google Drive. Students from different classes could work together on a writing project. Another way would be the teacher could project a Google Doc and the students could brainstorm or add their information. I had never thought before this assignment but using Google Sheets to have students add their own information for a math or science project would be a great way for students to see the different data collected.
   At our school several teachers create a shared document to brainstorm age level activities or create assessments that are important to our students' futures. Unfortunately, the way our school year and days are set up, there isn't a lot of time scheduled for group planning and collaboration so these documents are a way for the staff to work together when it is convenient for them.
