If you know how to use any word processor or spreadsheet program, you can easily use Google Docs & Spreadsheets. You can even import your existing documents and spreadsheets.  \nWhy use it?  \nStudents can use Google Docs & Spreadsheets to:  \n• Work on files anywhere, anytime  \n• Get quick feedback from multiple people  \n• Make the full writing process visible  \n• Demonstrate their mastery of editing skills  \n• Quickly analyze and organize data  \n• Easily share data sets  \nGoogle Docs & Spreadsheets in the  \nClassroom  \nGet the tool:  [http://docs.google.com](http://docs.google.com)   \nInstructional Ideas  \nElementary: Assign “Buddy Book Reports” where two students read the same book and collaborate on their final book report in an online document.  \nMiddle School: Partner with a class at another school, enter data from the same science experiment in a spreadsheet, and compare the results online.  \nHigh School: In Economics, students can monitor and calculate their investment portfolio in spreadsheets when playing the “Stock Market Game.” Students can trackspecific stocks at different times of the day and share the data.  \nExpert Tip   \nDon’t like the latest changes in your document? Role back to earlier versions of any document by clicking on “Revisions”, select a previous version, and click the “Revert to this one”button on the far right.  \nGoogle Docs & Spreadsheets in Action  \nProject: Writing Portfolios  \nGrade/Subject: 9-12th, Journalism School: Palo Alto High School, CA  \nIn one high school journalism class, every student keeps their entire writing portfolio on Google Docs & Spreadsheets. The teacher checks and verifies which assignments have been turned on a daily basis, and easily monitors student progress over time by having everything centrally located. More than just a library of files, though, students use the online environment to manage the entire writing process: share ideas, do peer editing, create revisions, and publish their final work. Best of all, the teacher can easily track the development of each writing assignment as the students work through multiple revisions. As students seamlessly work on their writing at home, school, at the library, and with their friends, there have been noticeable improvements in the quality of their writing.  \nAdditional Resources  \nMore Examples  \nThings to do with Google Docs & Spreadsheets [http://www.nycwp.org/kenstein/2006/01/26](http://www.nycwp.org/kenstein/2006/01/26)  \nTrack Reading Achievement  \n[http://tim.lauer.name/2006/10/11/google-spreadsheets-to-track-reading-achievement/\\#comment-483](http://tim.lauer.name/2006/10/11/google-spreadsheets-to-track-reading-achievement/#comment-483)  \nComplimentary Tools  \nBlogger  \n[www.blogger.com](www.blogger.com)  \nFathom Dynamic Data Software [http://www.keypress.com/x5656.xml](http://www.keypress.com/x5656.xml)","cbCairImZQ404GXI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairImZQ404GXI","pdf",472846,"English","# What is it?\n# Why use it?\n# Google Docs & Spreadsheets in the Classroom\n## Instructional Ideas\n## Expert Tip\n# Google Docs & Spreadsheets in Action\n## Project: Writing Portfolios\n# Additional Resources","[{\"question\":\"What capabilities do Google Docs \\u0026 Spreadsheets provide for students?\",\"answer\":\"They enable students to create, store, share, and collaborate on documents and spreadsheets online, including importing existing files.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Google Docs \\u0026 Spreadsheets support learning and assessment?\",\"answer\":\"Students can get quick feedback, make the writing process visible, analyze and organize data, share data sets, and teachers can monitor progress over time.\"},{\"question\":\"How can you revert to an earlier version of a document?\",\"answer\":\"Open “Revisions,” select a previous version, and click “Revert to this one” on the far right.\"}]","Google Docs & Spreadsheets - Classroom Instructional Guide | PDF",1790367315]
