Since we have not formally introduced Google Docs to this point, this is our formal introduction to it. We will be using the Case Analysis Template (on the Week 5 page), so we need to introduce them to it. I am leaving many of the specifics up to you – some of us have students publish the docs, some of us do not. But they need to know the basics – editing, sharing, publishing, using a template, etc. Enough to function for now.
Video made by Common Craft for Google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRqUE6IHTEA ULA should be able to lead this – this should be an introduction to the Google Docs environment, mainly focusing on the Docs part. I would show the other types of docs (spreadsheet, presentation) but not focus on it. Students should create, show that the editing features are similar to Word, show uploading, but mainly focus on sharing (sharing to view, to edit, publishing – what are the differences)
