Effective use of document templates helps educators work efficiently and save time (Robertson, 2013). In this video, teachers will learn how to create their own templates within Google Docs, how to search for ready-made templates available within Google Drive, and how to effectively put these templates to use to make life in the classroom easier.
Google Docs is a cloud-based, word processing tool that allows users to share files and collaborate on documents remotely. Included in GAFE, as well as the suite of free apps given to all users with a Google account, Google Docs provides everyone in the learning community with the chance to edit documents together. These educational features are provided to users through the “sharing” functions as well as the “commenting and suggesting” modes contained within the software. This application is an important resource for schools to employ going forward because teachers implementing Google Docs as a tool for students will see improvement in their writing abilities. Having multiple classmates as well as the instructor work together to revise written work provides extra levels of constructive feedback for each student in the class. The use of this constructive feedback can enhance the quality of student discussion responses (Suwantarithip & Wichadee, 2014).
In addition to editing, Google Docs also allows students to easily make new copies of their work for each draft. Within these drafts, all changes to the documents are automatically saved into the “revision history” database within Google’s cloud servers. This means that with only a few clicks, students and educators can look at every change that has ever been made in the life of the document. According to Suwantarithip & Wichadee (2014), while using Google Docs, students were able to improve their writing by evaluating multiple versions of their own documents, which contained feedback from other collaborators.
