Activity 1

Visit the discussion board and answer this question:  Is there a lesson that you currently teach that could be enhanced with the use of Google Drive?  Explain the lesson and how it could be altered with the use of Google Drive. 

Activity 2

Go to your Google Drive account. Create a new "Document." In this document, compare Google Drive to Microsoft Office. Which do you use more frequently? Explain why. How do two the software compare? What are the benefits and limitations of both resources? 

When you are finished creating this document, share it with me (hgascon@inghamisd.org). 

Activity 3

In the "Learn" portion of this lesson, you learned how Google Drive can be used to create Documents, Slideshows, Spreadsheets, Drawings and Forms. . At this point,  I'd like you to create a Google Form that you could use in your classroom. There are no question or content specifications. The only requirement is that it has to be something you will actually use! You can create an online version of a premade paper assessment, an interest inventory, or anything you'd like. Visit this link, 79 Interesting Ways to Use Google Forms in the Classroom for suggestions. 

Once you have created this form, share it three people including me(hgascon@inghamisd.org) and have them take it. Share the "Results" spreadsheet with me as well. If you need help, watch the video below!

Activity 4:

Return to Topic 3 to complete the "Self Assessment."
