RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Give a brief description of the technology/resource.

“Google Drive is a freeware web-based office suite offered by Google. Google Drive allows users to create and edit documents
create slides, sheets, and forms online while collaborating in real-time with other users. Tutorials are posted for Google Drive,
Slides, Forms, Drawing and Sheets.”

Google Drive can be organized into files and shared with your chosen audience and color coded.

INTEGRATION IDEA - COLLABORATION

 How might you integrate this resource in a lesson plan to promote collaboration among students in your classroom, or among
students and others outside of the classroom?

There are many possibilities with google drive. One is to use a google doc to collaboratively work on an assignment. As
an instructor you could create a shared file and assign group members access. Not only could students see in real time
what their other group members are contributing but as a teacher you can add comments as well. One student could
be in the library, one could be taking photos on their phone or conducting interviews, and another could be in the
classroom editing contributions as they are added.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
 Based on the “value-added rating scale” above, how would you rate the technology integration you described, using the
selected resource?
 Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.
This is a level 3 on the “value-added rating scale”.
By utilizing google drive to collaborate on a group assignment student can work from anywhere that has internet access. Students
could create from multiple locations contributing in differentiated ways all while the while the teacher can see every keystroke
made and offer real-time feedback. Tasks could be assigned to fit the individual needs of each student. Without the use of
technology this assignment would next to impossible to complete in a reasonable amount of time.
