How Students and Teachers can use
Google Docs
Google Docs' sharing features enable you and your
students to decide exactly who can access and edit
documents.
You'll find that Google Docs helps promote group
work and peer editing skills, and that it helps to ful
fill the stated goal of the National Council of Teach
ers of English, which espouses writing as a process 
and encourages multiple revisions and peer editing
.
Students will find that Google Docs can help them s
tay organized and keep on top of their assignments.
They never have to remember to save their work; it
happens automatically.
It's easy to collaborate online with fellow students, e
ven when they aren't in the same place, and they ca
n get feedback easily from teachers, parents, relative
s and tutors, and enter updates anytime from anywh
ere.
And kids can go back to the revisions history to see
how their assignment has evolved, and who has hel
ped.
Teachers are using Google Docs both to publish annou
ncements about upcoming assignments and to monito
r student progress via an interactive process which allo
ws you to give guidance when it might be of maximum
benefit – while your student is still working on an assig
nment.
Through the revisions history, you can see clearly who
contributed to what assignment and when; if a student
says he or she worked on a given project over the last t
wo weeks, it will be documented (no more "dog ate my
homework" excuses)
Always wanted to try Google Docs in your cla
ssroom but didn't know where to begin?  

We've put together a handy-dandy step-by-st


ep guide to help you get started
Some real-life example of Google Docs colla
boration in action:
In October of 2007, Google held a "Global Warming St
udent Speak out".
We invited teachers to join us in a project that gave stu
dents from all over a chance to collectively brainstorm
strategies for fighting global warming and have their id
eas published in a full-page ad in a major newspaper.
If you're interested to see how we used Google for this,

Revision is a critical piece of the writing
process and of your classroom
curriculum.

Now, Google Docs has partnered with


Weekly Reader's *Writing for Teens*
magazine to help you teach it in a
meaningful and practical way.
