Google Drive Tools
The ideas are limitless...
In writing and responding...
Students can use the Research tool to fact check before typing into their work. This can be found by clicking on "Tools" and a right bar appears on your screen allowing to do a search.
Using Docs also allows you to use "Add Ons" that can assist students in their writing. This could be especially helpful for students that struggle with writing.
Adding an "Add On" is easy and so many are available (see the pictures below). There are add ons that can check for overused words as well as those that can offer instant clipart. There are also ones that can record verbal feedback for the writer to listen to later.
Another fantastic feature of Google Docs are the templates. You can have your students publish newsletters, resumes, recipes, reports, notes and more in an organized format by assigning or having them choose a template.
*Please note* Google Docs is not limited to Intermediate Students. With a little training Primary Students could easily use Google Docs to share and improve their writing.
Use Google Docs with your students?
