'''Google Drive and Google Docs as Teacher Tool'''
−
−
These two tools are excellent teaching tools can be used in conjunction with one another to create presentations, manage student presentations and monitor student progress while they work in groups to create presentations.
−
−
In order to use these tools, the teacher must have a gmail account and students must also have a gmail account.
−
−
So let’s say you assign a project/presentation to your students and ask them to create a group presentation using a powerpoint. Many content areas (math, social studies, English) can use these tools for this purpose.
−
−
The first thing you will do is access google drive. <nowiki>https://www.google.com/drive/</nowiki>
−
−
You should log in and click on the “new” button located in the top left hand corner of the screen.
−
−
You will see a drop down screen that looks like the image above. First create a new folder by clicking on the folder icon. A screen will appear that will ask you to name your folder. You can label it student project or your class/period name.
−
−
After you name the folder, it will become part of your google drive folder list. Click on the folder to open it. You will notice that there is nothing inside of it.
−
−
Click on the name of the folder as indicated below. Then click the “share” button. You will add all of your students email addresses to this specific folder or you can send the link to the folder using the “get shareable link” .
−
−
Next you will go back to the top of your screen and click on the little square icon.
−
−
The drop down will appear again and you will scroll down and click on “even more from Google”.
−
−
Then go to Home & Office and click on Google slides. When the next screen appears, click on “go to Google slides” again.
−
−
At the top you will see the bar that looks like this:
−
−
Click on the “Blank” icon to start a new slide.
−
−
Next, label the slide with your student group number. (eg. #1, #2, #3) And go to “file”. Click on it and you will see the drop down screen. Go to “move to” then click “My drive” and the file will be placed in your google drive but it won’t be in your respective “class” folder.
−
−
Next drag and drop the group slide presentation file into the “class folder”.
−
−
Repeat this step until you have enough Google slide presentations labeled with the group number for your class.
−
−
Next click on the group assignment slide for each group so it is highlighted and then share that file with student group members by clicking on the person icon above. When you do, a screen will come up that will look like the screen below. Simple add the student email addresses and they will be able to edit the group document and work together on their presentation. Be sure to make sure the “Can edit” option is selected.
