Epic collaboration between students made simple with Google Docs

April 2, 2018 by Kim Lepre 4 Comments

Google Docs | collaborative learning | students collaborate | working together

I remember “back in the day” when I would do an assignment – be it an essay, math worksheet, science lab, etc. – and if I wanted to have someone proofread it for me, I had to physically give it to them. Or if we were doing a group assignment, we’d have to all copy […]

Checking for understanding by having students create products

April 12, 2016 by Kim Lepre 2 Comments

checking for understanding | assessment | authentic assessment | real world learning

It’s that time of the year….TESTING! At my site, the English and Math teachers test students while the other classes teach on a block schedule. This may not be a big deal for you if you already teach that way, but the transition can be tough for some. One of the best ways to make this […]

During this past 4-day weekend, I spent some of my time working on various tasks. One of them was creating a trip packing list, and another was grading some of my students’ performance task essays. For both, I took advantage of the collaborative nature of Google Apps for Education (GAFE). I know I’ve written about this […]

September 15, 2015 by Kim Lepre Leave a Comment

Google drive | dropbox | online storage | best technology for teachers | technology | educational technology | tools for teachers

In my school, teachers and students are […]
