I have used Google Docs in collaborative situations literally hundreds of times and so this video will provide you with some great ideas and some great tips. Ideal for any sort of training/teaching where you want students working in collaborative contexts like group work, class work or pair work.

This is a short five minute video which goes through group work activities in Google Docs. You can use Google Docs to teach online or teach from home. The main thing is that this tutorial will guide you through the key features of Google Drive. You can use Google docs, sheets and even embed these into an online classroom, such as Google classroom. This is a simple piece of educational technology. This training video will show you briefly how to get your students or learners to collaborative. You can get up and running really quickly. Instructions can be given in the document. I show you how to do this.

You can create a table and change the font if necessary. You can, for example, get students to watch a video and offer a link to the video. Google and YouTube are linked and easily connected. Share a video from YouTube onto your Google Document. Students can watch the video you share the link to. They can comment below and edit, but we can do is create a table so that all your learners don’t overlap. This avoids the risk of your students erasing or changing other learners’ contributions to the document.

Russell Stannard has been training teachers in using Google software for many years. This is one example of a video that he makes about using Google Suite tools to help learners collaborative or work together. This video shows some of the settings for one particular kind of Google Suite features, which is Google Documents. Online teaching and remote teaching require a lot of asynchronous learning. Asynchronous learning is basically when the teacher sets a task and learners complete the task in their own time, rather than during a webinar or virtual classroom where the teacher is always present.

This is a teacher training video about making the most of effective online teaching. This video is about using Google Documents. This is one just one type of asynchronous learning tool, courtesy of the Google Suite platform. The great thing about Google Docs is that the students are able to collaborate. There is a share button. Russell shows you what the options are in the share button. You can add an email or email addresses. However, if you get a shareable link we can send this to other members of the group and can set what they actually do. In this video you can allow them to edit, too. Imagine that the document has been created and then we need to share the link to all your learners. They can share the link with each other, too. If we log in as a learner, this has options. I show you here what it is like from the learner or student’s point of view. Once the learner has watched the video, for example. They can work directly on the document and all other learners will see any updates with immediate effect. This is a simple but effective way of getting students to collaborate. Having a table makes organising easier and helps the teacher to read and offer any feedback needed.

Online or remote teaching is becoming more and more commonplace. This teacher training video is a short tutorial on using Google Documents. Distance Learning, Remote teaching, synchronous and asynchronous teaching methods. Quick tutorial which shows what you can do with Google Docs.
