2. Think Google?

3. +
Using Google in the
learning environment
 Google docs  Google voice
 Google forms  Google talk
 Google maps  Google earth
 Gmail (more  ….the list goes on
storage, less spam)
 Google search

4. +
Showcase one feature now:
 If you have a twitter account and are following #tmsydney you
will now see a link that I have tweeted out.
 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHNIRjdaeXlhODVS
N3B4YjJSNzNhUFE6MQ#gid=0
 Click on the link using either your SMART phones, tablets or
laptops (no need to sign in, feel free to complete while listening,
takes 1-2 mins)

5. +
Share, anyone with link (no log in
required) THEN edit access, allow
anyone to edit….

6. +
• For me to CREATE this form I require a google account
which gives me access to Gmail, You tube account and other
handy features like blogger.
• Others who complete form do not require a google
account to complete (no sign in required)

7. +
However….
 If you would like to use other features eg google presentations
as a collaborative exercise then participants DO require a
google account/signing in…
Just like a
power point
but can work
on it anytime,
anywhere..eg
with group
work (sick
student at
home or
overseas
projects)

8. +
Other advantage of signing in:
If participants sign in you
can view the REVISION
HISTORY of the
assignment. (who has
contributed and when- great
for group work to see
balance of contributions…)

9. +
Google forms
What is it?
Basically the
collection and
organisation of information…
How do I use it?
 Gather data –allergies, alternate emails, likes dislikes, previous
schools, snapshot of learner, confidential info etc
 Pool ideas, can adapt, tests, quizzes, gather prior knowledge
before starting a unit etc

10. +
Google form
 All responses submitted in spreadsheet form- the creator can
access this ANYHWERE, anytime logged into a Google account
 Need Gmail account- easy, free, HUGE storage, google translate
 Need to sign in to create form but not to use ie I can send link to a
student who opens form on a browser and wolla! Ready to go!
 Advantages? You tube, adding to other blog comments, ease,
convenience, easy to spread via link (tweeted out just before lunch
and received 13 responses world wide in less than 2 hours) No
need to enter data, can see summary of responses, can see
revision history and so on- have a play!

15. +
Google presentation + spreadsheet
Google presentation (like power point):
 If group work- eg drama scripts,health/nutrition projects, kids
away can still work on at home if sick or travelling
Google spreadsheet-
 Collaborate groups idea- eg year 9 study for RE test each team
gathered best study notes and then pooled all results into
spreadsheet to share.

16. +
Google maps
 Over7000
views staple
foods and 29
responses –
drop pins

Google docs
 Just like a word document
but can share and edit.
Updates instantaneously.
 Link info to assessments eg
assignments, submission
instructions, handy links etc
 Pinboard –another teachers
(Simon) fab idea: QR code
of all current assessments
on a pinboard- can scan
any time takes to a google
doc
 You tube -> Flipped
classroom-recipe on doc
