I also use groups in my Google Mail Contacts to speed the process. Because once privileges are determined, any changes are made on an individual basis and can become tedious with large groups. Tips: When setting privileges for large numbers of individuals or groups in bulk, add all editors then add all viewers. Individuals can be removed by clicking on the X next to their name. This is done in bulk initially, but can always be changed for any individual at anytime using the drop down menu next to each collaborator. Set privileges by using the drop down menu next to the individuals or groups you have added. Be sure to have students add you as an editor to all documents on which you plan to assess and add comments.
The privilege options are: editor, commenter, and viewer. In the "Add people:" field, you are able to add collaborators using their name (if they are in your Google Mail contacts) email address, or group. Hovering over the "Share" button allows you to quickly see how many individuals have access to the document.
Here you can add individuals as collaborators and indicate their privileges as viewers or editors. The power of Google Docs comes from the ability to share, edit, and work together in one virtual workspace.Ĭreate a google document and share it among multiple people by using either the "Share" button in the top right of the document screen, or using the File menu -> Share. Future tutorials will go more in-depth into each type of document. This tutorial will give you an introduction to the common collaborative features of Google Docs. Each of these tools can be used in the classroom to accomplish a different set of objectives. Documents can also be downloaded, worked on offline, and then re-uploaded to your account.
Documents, presentations, spreadsheets, forms, drawings, and collections (folders) can be created and shared by multiple users at once. Google Docs is a free, web based set of document creation tools that allows multiple users to contribute, edit, and interact together. By learning how to use the tools available through Google Docs, your classroom can become more productive, more engaging, and more effective. Students can collaborate more efficiently on projects using web-based word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation programs. Google Docs is built into Google Apps for Education and enables collaborative activities and projects that can occur inside or outside of the instructional day. Collaboration is a powerful and authentic instructional method to engage, improve, and direct student learning.
