Google DriveAustin O’Connor

Why is it Web 2.0?• Google Drive is part of Web 2.0 for several reasons...

• 1. It is totally free• 2. It is something that is in real time

• 3. It is something that can be used for collaborations

Step 1• Create a google account and log in...

Step 2• Open your main menu, and click create to start a document...

Step 3• After you have created the document, you can click the share

button in order to allow others to collaborate on your project with you by typing in their account name

How can it be used?• Students can use google drive to work on projects and

collaborate without even being together. They can do this after school without having to meet up.

• I have my students create documents in my lesson plan on Friday

• Pros...• It is much more convenient for students to collaborate and

work in groups. • It is also easy for me to grade a paper they submitted on there

from my own home.

• Cons...• Students could possibly cheat and help each other easier by

letting someone else collaborate on their paper• There could be confusion through technical difficulty or

internet problems.
