Working on a more collaborative writing process with Apps Edu
Friday, March 5, 2010
Cross posted on the
Google Enterprise Blog
While feedback and revision are crucial steps to successful writing, it’s not always easy to do in practice. Keeping track of revisions, deciphering edits, and arranging reviews can keep us from repeating this editing cycle more often.
The collaborative nature of Google Apps can help evolve the writing process with easy sharing and anytime, anywhere collaboration. Add in built-in reference tools, autosave and revision history, and ready-made templates, and Google Docs – part of the Google Apps suite – becomes a powerful platform for writing.
We’ve developed our first
Google Apps Topic Review
to highlight some of these features and stories from teachers in the classroom, and we shared and revised this paper using the same principles of collaboration.
If you’re attending this year’s
ASCD conference
(held from March 6-8 in San Antonio, Texas) we’ll be featuring presentations from Google Certified Teachers, Google Apps Education Edition customers, and Google Apps Education team members about other ways Google Apps can help in the classroom. View our
teaching theater schedule
and stop by to visit us in Booth #626.
