Module 3
I am excited by the opportunities Google Docs provides. Its use extends the possibilities for collaboration, student learning and teacher-student communication more than I had imagined with the limited knowledge I had// prior to this module. I am thrilled by the impact that having work published online may have for students’ sense of ownership and independence. I think this would be extremely beneficial for my grade 3/4 students to help them understand the purpose of writing. Further, having just finished reading Lori D. Oczkus’, Reciprocal Teaching at Work, this module has inspired me to enhance the knowledge I have gained about reading comprehension. For instance, the use of Google Docs would be a great way to support my 3/4 students develop comprehension strategies through collaboration and sharing ideas about text. I cannot wait to start using Google Docs with my 3/4 team and students!
