google groups project

I honestly, do not like group projects, because in high school I was always the one stuck doing the work or my group was the one who always had points taken off because others did not do their part of the project. I do think using Google groups is a good way to manage group projects in a class, if everyone had computer and internet access and it would be a great way to monitor progress of groups and the work they are doing. It is a little bit confusing to manage if you do not know your way around and can be hard to get back to sometimes once you leave the site. The story document part of the assignment was the hardest to get to and from, for me. I couldnt remember how to get to and from so it was always alot of back tracking to get to it. I liked the idea of creating a power point and being able to share it with the group, that is a create way to do a think pair share strategy in class.


I think this would be a great tool to use in college classes to help students keep up with work and to review if they are absent that day in class. It is also a great way for teachers to monitor what work students do in group projects and make sure everywhere shares the load, compared to one single student doing all of the work.


The way this ties to the standards is in the area of Model Digital Age Work and Learning and it also relates with using Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments.
