The Application Google Doc is a great way to create worksheets that students will actually be interested in completing. To create a Google Doc you must have a Gmail account. Once the account is created click on the three by three square icon and then click on Drive (middle row, third option down). Once in Drive there will be a bright blue box in the top left had corner that says "NEW". Once you have done this you will then click "More", and then "Google Docs". Google Docs really connects with the One D Component of the Danielson Framework (Domain One). To refresh, Component One D focuses on the resources used for student AND educator learning. The resource of Google Doc helped to aid in the extension of content knowledge and the way in which the lessons are taught (pedagogy).
In my Google Doc, which can be seen below, I would have loved to come up with a way to utilize the picture/ video tool, but I could not think of a way to incorporate them into a Getting to Know You questionnaire. The features of pictures and videos will be super easy to add into a History test or exit ticket though, for items such as paintings and reenactments. I did enjoy coming up with a variety of questions though. The specific questions that I chose will be conversation starters for the students to each other and their teacher. This tool will also give them the feeling that their teacher actually wants to get to know them and genuinely cares about them, and not just in the classroom. This tool, Google Docs could be used in my classroom in many ways. An example of a use would be an entrance and exit form for the day. In the beginning of class the students could answer three or four questions that will be covered in the day's lesson for a completion grade, and at the end of class refill out the same google doc, but this time for an actual grade based on correctness.
