Google Drive (Docs) in the Writing Classroom

Hey all,
Hope you've all had a wonderful break and as you may be thinking about getting back at it you might want to consider some ideas on writing instruction. This post may especially interest language arts teachers but as a social studies teacher I have been drawn to Google Drive (formerly Google Docs). You really don't want to hear from me so I have linked to a Fractus Learning article about the advantages of working in the Google Drive environment vs Microsoft Word or like platforms. The requirement here is access to a computer lab and internet connectivity. Sixth grade social studies has been using Google Drive and its sharing capabilities to write, comment, and turn in essay responses. If this is an interest area for upcoming Thinking Thursdays, that may be arranged.

Have a great one,
Your Discovery Literacy Leaders
