Using Google Tools in Project-Based Learning Infographic
Teacher Infographics Using Google Tools in Project-Based Learning Infographic Using Google Tools in Project-Based Learning Infographic Project-based learning is a dynamic approach in which students actively explore real-world problems and challenges and acquire a deeper knowledge. Many of the digital tools used in classrooms are made especially for education. Inquiry Tools Once you’ve decided what the students will be focusing on, they’ll need more information on the topic. Communication and Collaboration Tools As a part of their work, students will likely need to connect with others – with collaborators in the classroom and with folks around the globe that can help them learn about what they need to know. Expression Tools An integral part of project-based learning is students having a voice in their work. Tools for Sharing, Presenting, Feedback, and Assessment Project-based learning encourages sharing work and receiving feedback that is more meaningful than just a grade.

Google Forms: Streamline your Data with FilterRoster Script If you re-use a Google Form for attendance, turning in homework, daily warm-up, peer evaluation data, or anything where there are multiple rows per student in your Form data my script FilterRoster may be helpful. It creates a tab for EACH student with a filter to show just that students data. Rather than filtering the Google Form data one student at a time, this will filter ALL of your students at once. I have known JavaScript and Google Apps script for about 2 weeks now, I am still playing around with it. This will take you to the code for the FilterRoster script. This script should work with a Google Form data that has a unique student identifier such as student ID number or if students have different names (ie: you do not have 2 Amy’s in your class.) Spreadsheet The script actually goes with the spreadsheet data. In the spreadsheet with the Google Form data go to the Tools menu and choose “Script editor.” Close out of the splash screen.

Penultimate 11 Helpful Hints for Combining Google Drive With Symbaloo Last week I received an email from Travis Towne in which he described how he is using Symbaloo arrange and share Google Drive files. I thought it was a great ideas so I asked Travis if he would be interested in writing a guest post. One of the problems I run into when trying to find documents, videos, or folders that I have saved in my Google Drive folder is trying to find them again quickly without having to dig through the myriad of my created folders. I also want the ability to quickly share with my students folders that have documents or videos without having to send them a link to each one. With these concerns in mind, I felt that combining one of the best visual web resources (Symbaloo) with one of the best storage resources (Google Drive) was the best way to go. Click the examples for several ways that Symbaloo has been combined with Google Drive. 1. Here are a few other Symbaloo Webmixes that I have created but don’t use Google Drive. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Sweet Search Understanding the Classroom Folder Google Classroom automatically creates a “Classroom” folder in Google Drive for the teacher and the student. This is awesome but may lead to some confusion. Here are some tips about the Google Classroom folder. The class folder in Google Drive for the teacher and the student has the same name but is NOT the same folder. This is good because teachers and students can put files that are associated with the class into the class folder to keep organized. A common misconception is that files shared via Google Drive are shared with others in the class. Teachers wanting to share files with their students can create a folder within the class folder and share that folder with the students. A great use for Google Classroom is professional development or collaboration groups. To allow 2-way sharing of files, go to the class folder in Google Drive. Note that if you share the class folder, this has the SAME NAME as the class folder the “students” have. Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2015 Like this:

blinkx Video Creating Collaboration Groups Google Classroom can be used for more than just creating a class or professional development session! Google Classroom is Google Drive Management. Using Google Classroom for a collaboration group helps to keep files neatly organized in Google Drive. If you are working with a group on creating and curating, where group members are all contributing, and you need a specific file structure, Google Classroom is a great way to go. When you create a class in Google Classroom it automatically creates a folder as a subfolder of the Classroom folder in Google Drive. The name of the folder is the same name as the class. I suggest manually renaming the folder in Google Drive. The “teacher” of the collaboration group will want to go to Google Drive and share the class folder with the collaborators. For the teachers in the collaboration group, you want them to add to the Google Classroom as a student. For each assignment, a folder is created in Google Drive.

Here is a suggestion for how to create the writing journals. Create a template in Google Docs. Add a table of contents to the doc. In Google Drive create a template for the students to use as their Writing Journal. At the top of the document create a title.
