Potential Classroom Applications
Creating signup lists Group research projects Group essays Group presentations Peer editing Publishing announcements about
upcoming assignments Brainstorming
On the faculty end, these tools can be used for tasks such as
Course development among multiple instructors
Gathering data from faculty members
Recording grades and student feedback anytime, anyplace as long as an Internet connection is available.
advantages of Google Docs Easy to access and collaborate Less computing resources required Low learning curve (interface somewhat similar to
Microsoft Office) Can be used to teach technology using technology Can access via any machine that is linked to the
Internet Revision history—the ability to revert to a previous
version and determine ownership of past revisions Compatibility with different operating systems Provided at no cost
sample class assignments using Google Docs
Post your choices for research topics in Google Docs’ Spreadsheet application (which is similar to Excel). If there is an identical choice, contact the other person and negotiate a change. Feedback will be posted in the spreadsheet and approved topics will be highlighted in yellow.
List the competencies needed for the position of Information Systems Manager within the following three categories: technical, business, and behavioral. Use Google Docs’ Document application (similar to Word).
Select a particular business sector (financial, health, automotive, government, military, etc.). Next, imagine that we are 20 years into the future. Your team is required to prepare a short, 10-minute management briefing on the then-emerging technologies that will help your business sector and explain why. Use Google Docs’ Presentation application (similar to PowerPoint).
Exercise 1

Create a document/spreadsheet/form/drawing– share it with 2 colleagues
Create a folder – put some documents in it – share it with 2 colleagues
Create a questionaire/survey – share it – look at it online – answer it – browse the responses
Virtual pen
Google drive
Dropbox
…
Blog (web + log) Individual or collective Share and exchange information

Creating and editing interconnected webpages
Collaborative knowledge construction
TAeL example
Wiki: DE theoriesThis project was made from Lisbon, Madeira, Barcelona and Salerno. It is the undeniable prrof that colaborative work is possible and can be successful in DE.
It shows us how inspite of being thousands of kilometers away, proximity is only as far as a “clic”.
It makes us proud to do a project about na author and a theory that see distance beyond the physical space, because that one, between us, never existed.
