Google Docs

 GOOGLE DOCS          

The second technology I have selected is Google Docs. This technology is a tool from

 Dr. Wang’s PPT and it is specifically from the Google vs Microsoft list. 

 

 

What it is:  

Google Docs is an online platform that provides a safe place for students to create, edit, and store documents. It is part of the Google Docs Editors suite of free web applications and can be accessed from any computer that has a internet connection.

Usage and what it's able to do:

• Google Docs is very easy to use. It provides students with an easy way to collaborate because you are able to invite others to edit documents at the same time which is a great way to promote collaboration and teamwork without hassle.  
• Google docs is very portable since it can be used from any computer with internet access and all the documents are in one spot.  
• The abilities of Google Docs are vast. In Google Docs you are able to edit fonts, choose from a variety of templates, you are able to insert images, and all your current work on your documents auto save.

I think the likelihood of using Google Docs in my future classroom is very high because it is a simple platform that is able to do a variety of things and most of all, students are able to easily collaborate with it.

Connection to TLC and 7 Events of Instruction:

I believe Google Docs connects to the TLC framework because in the classroom we are able to teach, learn and communicate on Google Docs. Content can be presented on a google doc for kids to learn and content can be shared to communicate with others in class. Google Docs also connects to the seven events of instruction because it can be used for presenting content, informing students of learning objectives, providing feedback, and assessing learning outcomes.
