Google Drive-based tools can empower faculty and learners as they help build the foundation of learner-driven teaching.

• Help learners to become independent
• Provide opportunities for students to become expert in any given topic
• Give students access to multiple sources of instruction

You have two options:

• mapping in the Google doc add-on (limited)
• mapping using the online tool - endless opportunities there!

Visualizing Content and Concept Mapping

1. Your professional blog/website like Novablog OR YouTube tutorials

2. Google search or Instagrok

3. Other Learners

“The (…) Google Docs portion of class took some time to get used to. I was not expecting to be participating in discussions and watching videos online. A lot has changed in the small window I have been out of school. It seems that technology is taking over. I have been so used to turning in assignments in class. My teachers would normally make corrections with assignments and bring them back the next class session. Overall, I have to admit that Google Docs is like a revelation. It appears to give teachers an easier approach for grading. The invite sequence allows teachers to edit students’ work instead of waiting for it by the bundle. It also keeps a students [sic] work all in one area and does not require the use for filing.” (M. Vilarreal, 2016 Oct 14, UMUC, WRTG101S)

Deeper Level

Learning

Teaching is an evolving profession:

let's create a growth (mindset) environment to learn

AND teach new skills.

Interactive Rubrics are designed to accelerate knowledge retention and promote growth mindset.

Use them as comprehensive check lists!

Insert hyperlinks to refer back to prior knowledge: chapters of books in pdf or online format, folders in Blackboard, previous classes or modules students have taken to show connections

Engage students and have them reflect on their work with interactive Grading Rubrics.
