This document discusses the use of Google Drive to facilitate collaboration on teaching portfolios between workshops. The author held a series of workshops to help faculty develop teaching portfolios but found low participation between sessions. To address this, Google Drive was introduced to allow participants to collaboratively write and provide feedback on portions of their portfolios online. While this afforded asynchronous interaction, one participant noted it was still difficult to prioritize portfolio work without firm deadlines. The author reflects on integrating technology into the workshops and seeks to better understand how to engage participants through collaborative online tools.

Collaborative learning is an educational approach where students work together in groups to solve problems, complete tasks, or create a product. It builds knowledge through collaborative work supported by technology. Students are encouraged or required to work together on learning tasks. Collaborative learning is similar to e-learning 2.0 and networked collaborative learning, referring to a second phase of e-learning using Web 2.0 technologies to more easily share information between people in a network. This allows students and teachers to work collaboratively, discuss ideas, and promote information to create engaging educational experiences.
The document discusses a study on the use of blogs as learning tools. The researchers analyzed blog posts in higher education, professional development for educators, and instructional designers to code for evidence of learning. They found blogs across all categories contained significant learning-related content like information, analysis, and reflection. While more research is needed, blogs show potential as a tool to promote and extend learning.
Teacher educators were asked about their needs for digital materials through a focus group. They search for materials like lesson plans, activities and research to update their courses. They find materials online through searches and save them to their personal computers or institution servers. However, quality can vary and materials become outdated quickly. They are open to sharing materials but need to prepare them for wider audiences. They also want to participate in more online communities for teacher educators at a European level.
The document discusses reasons for using technology in teaching. It provides practical reasons like tracking student learning and pedagogical reasons like enhancing writing abilities. It emphasizes the importance of creating shared digital spaces for collaboration. When designing technology-enhanced courses, instructors should consider learner needs and instructional goals rather than focusing primarily on the technology.
Virtual and online learning is growing rapidly in the United States. Over 500,000 K-12 students now take courses virtually, and virtual schools are expanding their course offerings beyond just advanced placement classes. Research shows students in one-to-one computing programs, where each student has their own laptop, are more engaged and motivated. However, some argue these programs are too costly and could provide access to inappropriate content without proven academic benefits. Overall, more research is still needed to determine what virtual learning approaches work best for different types of students.
The document discusses virtual learning environments (VLEs), which are computer-based systems that facilitate online learning. VLEs allow for educational interactions and help turn online spaces into places for learning. They have emerged alongside increased student use of social media and can provide interactive learning similar to in-person classes. Examples of popular VLEs mentioned include Moodle, Second Life, and Sloodle. Research suggests that VLEs increase engagement and involvement through collaboration, which can help improve student learning outcomes. However, VLEs also present challenges such as costs, training needs, and technical support requirements.
Teachers are being challenged to find ways to integrate the use of ICT into their teaching to both address these outcomes and enhance what they have previously done on their classrooms. One approach to the use of the Internet that has a lot of potentials for both teachers and learners is the Web Quest. This study aimed at verifying (1) whether the students would be interested in reading texts extensively in English; (2) whether an interactive constructivist environment would make a difference in an extensive reading task. This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of the Web Quest in extensive reading. The experiment and control subjects were from two different classes attending the fifth semester of English department at STKIP PGRI Jombang, Indonesia. The results showed that there is no statistical difference between the groups (p=0.575). The results also indicated that both approaches (the Web Quest and traditional) lead to learning and both are valuable teaching strategies. The results showed that the majority of students in both groups had some difficulties in reading in English. General comments follow the next discussion and end with conclusion and suggestion which might be beneficial for language learners and EFL practitioners.
This document summarizes Sheila Majask's experience taking a Blended Learning in the Classroom (BLiC) course and implementing blended learning in her own classroom. The BLiC course introduced Majask to new information and models of blended learning. It challenged her to immediately apply what she learned.

7. ICT In Classroom
Learning should be the impetus that drives the
use of technology in the school. Its use allows
teachers and students to become partners in
the learning process. Technology integration
necessarily alters the traditional paradigm of
the teachers providing wisdom and the
students absorbing knowledge and for good
reason. (Joe Bitner 2007)
8. Technology in Education????
Technology has certainly revolutionized business, commerce and entertainment. So, why not
have a similar impact in and on education?
As response to this question, we can cite four major attitudes
1. Believers: for this category of people, technology, and more particularly, Information and
Communication Technology (ICT hereafter) can have monumental impact on learning process.
They also deem it that ICT is already there in the field bringing about real wonders.
2. Skeptics: For this category of people, who are doubtful about the potentials of technology, can
be described as being technophobic as they show a great deal of resistance to change .They also
cling to their comfort zones.
3. Agnostics: these are people who claim that in the absence of enough field evidence to tech
education systems
4. Pragmatics: for this class of people, they prefer to wait for technologies to stabilize and prices
to hit bottom before they device to jump on the opportunities presented by ICT and invest
therein.
9. ICT Integration Challenges
The need for a clear educational policy with
committed educational choices where roles are
crystal clear
An approach to ICT that urges us to revisit teaching
technologies and learning objectives
Design of reliable ICT enhanced instructional
contents that appeal to digital natives
A solid infrastructure to promote ICT
implementation
A budget for the total cost of ownership
10. ICT Opportunities
Improve performance and improve teaching
Help learners in a variety of ways :
1. Face to face learning opportunities
2. Group learning (connected classrooms)
3. Synchronous as well as asynchronous learning chances
appeal to different learning styles and address different
needs of mixed ability classes
provide contextualized real-life learning opportunities
help us deliver the most timely and appropriate
knowledge and skills to the right people, at the most
suitable time, in the most convenient place

Docs, you get to decide how much access that person
has to your document.
Can edit
Can comment
Can view
18. 3.Share a Document with Specific
People
This is a good option to use if you are
sharing the document with specific
people or groups of people that can
entered by email address.
This is also best for a one-shot or
unique sharing need, and not for when
you do plan to share a lot of documents
with the same people over a period of
time.
Click the big blue "Share" button and
then "Add people".
19. 4.Share a Document as a Link
This is useful when you are not sure of
everyone in the target audience, or do
not have an easy way to include them
through an email group.
In such a case you will need to be able
to share a special link with these
people.
Click the big blue "Share" button, then
click "Change" to alter privacy settings.
20. 4. Share a Document as a Link
Since the link for the document will be very long and confusing,
you will need to consider how to share it with others. Options
might include:
Email the link to those who need it.
Post the link on your website, blog, forum, or other online
source.
Put the link inside another document and share that
document (perhaps as a document with a whole list of links).
Turn the link into a QR Code
Use a URL shortener
21. Using Folders
If you need to share documents frequently with the same
people over a period of time, you will find that using folders
will make the process easier.
Unlike the normal idea of folders, you can put a document
into multiple folders at once in Google Docs (similar to how
you can put multiple labels on one Gmail message.)
22. 5.Use Folders as Staff Handout Folders
One good use for shared folders is to create a
handout folder for your class. This would be a
folder where you can put any documents you
want your students to have access to, but not
be able to change. These would be read-only
documents for your students. Examples
would include handouts, study guides, and
templates that they could make a copy of to
edit their own version.
23. 5.Use Folders as Staff Handout
Folders
Create a normal folder.
Name it something that will make sense.
Share the folder with your students and give
them only Can view rights.
Have your students click the email link they get to
open the shared folder, making sure it has added
the handout folder to their list of shared folders.
Now anything you add to the folder will
automatically be available to the students in the
shared handout folder.
24. 6. Use folders as student turn- in
folders
Another good use for shared folders is for
students to create turn-in folders for a
teacher. Then to turn in an assignment, the
student simply adds the document to the
turn-in folder and it will be available to the
teacher.
25. 6. Use folders as student turn- in
folders.
Have each student create a normal folder, name
it something that makes sense.
Have them share the folder with you with Can
comment or Can edit rights.
Now you drag and drop their shared folders into
your own year and period folders to organize
them.
Anytime a student needs to turn in an
assignment, they simply add it to their turn-in
folder for your class period and the document
will now be available for you to access.
26. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments
Another creative option for managing the
submission of documents is to use Google
Forms to collect the needed information. The
form does not take the place of sharing the
documents, but instead helps you as a teacher
to manage the shared assignments.
27. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments..
Teacher makes a form:
The teacher creates a Google Form that will be
used to collect the assignment turn-in
information
Include items such as Last Name, First Name,
Assignment title (use a Choose from a list
question), and URL for assignment.
The teacher shares the Form link with the
students.
28. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments..
Students submit their assignment
information:
Student shares document with teacher as
normal.
Student copies the web address of the shared
document.
The student now accesses the assignment
turn-in form, fills in their information, and
pastes in the link to their shared document.
29. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments..
Teacher uses form to manage assignments:
Teacher opens the form spreadsheet to see the
assignments that have been submitted.
The teacher can click on the assignment links to
quickly open the shared documents.
The teacher can add notes in the columns to the
right of the data.
Data can be filtered by assignment.
Old assignment information can be removed (by
deleting the rows) or hidden.
30. 8. Using templates
Templates are especially useful in a couple of
situation:
With young or inexperienced students, a
template can help them get started on their
project without being limited by their lack of
proficiency.
Also, when time is limited, templates can help all
users to spend time inserting their content,
rather than losing time creating the document
layout.
31. 9. Use Revision History
When going paperless, you typically will only
have one copy of a document, instead of several
paper copies that may show the changes over
time (such as rough drafts).
It can be very beneficial to see how a student has
revised a document, and to see which students in
a group did which portions of the assignment.
Google Docs allows you to see the full revision
history for a document and revert back to any
earlier version if needed.
