Google Group Blog


           From the Google group assignment, I learned how to create a group where the group and I could collaborate to engage in a discussion, create a story together where each person had a part in the story to create that could be shared using Google drive, and also the opportunity to make a powerpoint using Google..This assignment also taught me how to arrange information where others could or could edit it as well as whether or not I wanted only group members to see it or if I wanted it viewed publicly.

            I did not encounter any problems with this assignment. It was fairly easy and self explanatory. The instructions were well organized and presented in a way that was easy to follow and understand.

            I could integrate Google groups in the future by having the students create a group where they will have to communicate via email and through a story to complete an assignment. This will help students get the feel of group work and come together as one to make a group decision.

            The NETS-T standard that would best fit this assignment would be design and develop digital-age learning experiences and assessments. This standard involves learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning as well as an environment where students pursue their own individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress. This assignment was designed where students had to create a beginning, middle, and end of a story at their own rate using their own ideas as well as participating in a group to complete this task successfully. This assignment was also organized in a way where a student had to create their own presentation in which they had to make a choice of what they would write about and what pace they would work to complete the activity.
