 Reviewing Google Docs as an Option for Working Together

Learning Google Docs here has gone beyond just typing, because it has become a place for us to discuss, learn together and cooperate meaningfully. I initially employed it just for some basic writing, but soon I began to understand the many ways it helps with collaboration and interaction in learning.

With Google Docs, I have grown in my ability to think about what I learn and work together with others. When I create group lesson plans or participate in peer review, the ChatWords tools let me communicate with classmates fast and like we are all in one room together. For example, when we were doing a group project on environmental education, we all used Google Docs to prepare, review and perfect our work as a team. Not only were we working alongside each other; we were growing our knowledge step by step.

I really like that Google Docs makes people want to participate actively. Different voices are included and their voices matter. Sharing suggestions in the comments helps others and the outcome becomes more valuable. I want my classroom environment to resemble this style of digital collaboration, where many help each other and discussions improve ideas.

Using Google Docs is simple which makes it accessible to many people. Experiencing Embassy wasn’t difficult for someone without much tech skill. Being cloud-based let me code from my phone while eating, my house’s computer or workstations at school. This helped keep my projects protected and accessible which made crunch time for assignments much less stressful.

As well as academic use, Google Docs was valuable for planning our school club activities and writing drafts of scripts with others. As a result, I realized that co-construction supports team projects, effective communicating and being a good leader.

In short, I now see Google Docs as both a place to create text and a way for teams to collaborate mentally. Not only has it improved my skills for being a teacher, but it has also shown me how to be a helpful member of the group. In the future, I will rely on Google Docs to support teamwork, mentoring and mutual learning with my students.
