Week 4 ReflectionsTeacher task software is abundant for instructors to perform all types of teaching and learning responsibilities. After completing the Google Docs projects, reflect your working experiences when collaborate with your group members by using Google Docs. You may want to focus on how you use these technologies into your own classroom and how Google Docs promote active learning and collaboration among students?
Google Docs and Slides are great collaboration tools inside the classroom and fit in perfectly with many teaching strategies. I have used these tools successfully while employing Jig Saw teams. Students work in groups and are assigned a piece of the overall content, a jigsaw puzzle piece, which they will be responsible to research, develop and teach to the group. As a group they are to produce a PowerPoint presentation that includes each members work. This technology works perfectly with this strategy and this strategy engages students and teaches them to collaborate effectively and teaches them responsibility and teamwork as well. That is what these collaborative technologies can do, used correctly. Collaboration can teach more than just the content or the learning objectives. Students learn how to work together, give and take constructive criticism from a peer, and to produce something together which is better than they could have accomplished alone.

John I agree with you that Google Docs and Slides are great tools to use in the classroom. I have used both in my history classes that past school years. The students I teach at my high school for the most part already know how to operate most of Googles products. I also agree with you that I love how both can be used for collaboration projects in the classroom.
