Google Docs Google Docs is a very convenient way to share documents with anyone who has a google account. This is great because you can invite friends and colleagues through their e-mail accounts. However, there is no system that allows the original creator of the document to limit changes. Essentially, anyone in the group can add whatever they want to the document. Fortunately, members of a group can see the changes as they are made, so they are easy to catch. Edmodo Edmodo is a great system for connecting students' ideas. It works well for discussions, and the instructor can use this site to provide resources, which is a very good way to save paper. One issue is that students may be reluctant to create a meaningful dialogue in the discussion forums. However, the instructor can tell students that they are required to reply to someone else's response to get full credit. Schoology Schoology is very similar to Edmodo, but it is organized differently. Not only can the instructor split his students into individual class periods, but he can also break them down into smaller groups. This is useful for group projects or jigsaw-style learning. Kidblog This website is great for helping students with their writing skills. It is set up like a blog, but it is very user-friendly, so students can use it very easily. Teachers can use the dashboard to quickly manage all of their students' posts and give feedback. This is a very important element for teaching writing. Google Slides Google Slides has virtually the same layout as Google Docs, but instead of text documents, it uses a powerpoint presentation style. This is noteworthy because making presentation slides as a group is very useful in a classroom setting. Every group powerpoint I have made in college has been done in Google Slides because it is a very quick and easy way to keep all the group members on the same page.
