7. ICT In Classroom
• Learning should be the impetus that drives the
use of technology in the school. Its use allows
teachers and students to become partners in
the learning process. Technology integration
necessarily alters the traditional paradigm of
the teachers providing wisdom and the
students absorbing knowledge and for good
reason. (Joe Bitner 2007)

8. Technology in Education????
Technology has certainly revolutionized business, commerce and entertainment. So, why not
have a similar impact in and on education?
As response to this question, we can cite four major attitudes
1. Believers: for this category of people, technology, and more particularly, Information and
Communication Technology (ICT hereafter) can have monumental impact on learning process.
They also deem it that ICT is already there in the field bringing about real wonders.
2. Skeptics: For this category of people, who are doubtful about the potentials of technology, can
be described as being technophobic as they show a great deal of resistance to change .They also
cling to their comfort zones.
3. Agnostics: these are people who claim that in the absence of enough field evidence to “tech”
education systems
4. Pragmatics: for this class of people, they prefer to wait for technologies to stabilize and prices
to hit bottom before they device to jump on the opportunities presented by ICT and invest
therein.

9. ICT Integration Challenges
• The need for a clear educational policy with
committed educational choices where roles are
crystal clear
• An approach to ICT that urges us to revisit teaching
technologies and learning objectives
• Design of reliable ICT enhanced instructional
contents that appeal to digital natives
• A solid infrastructure to promote ICT
implementation
• A budget for the total cost of ownership

10. ICT Opportunities
• Improve performance and improve teaching
• Help learners in a variety of ways :
1. Face to face learning opportunities
2. Group learning (connected classrooms)
3. Synchronous as well as asynchronous learning chances
• appeal to different learning styles and address different
needs of mixed ability classes
• provide contextualized real-life learning opportunities
• help us deliver the most timely and appropriate
knowledge and skills to the right people, at the most
suitable time, in the most convenient place

13. Google Docs in classroom
“Technology will not replace teachers, but
teachers who use technology will probably
replace these who do not.“ ~Ray Cliff

14. OVERVIEW
Google Docs provides many ways to go paperless
through sharing and collaboration.
There is not just one single right way to use
Google Docs for a paperless classroom.
Rather there are many tools and features that
can be used on their own or in combination to
meet your varying needs.
This session will cover many of the most
common ways that Google Docs can help
teachers and students move away from paper
and into a digital-only environment.

15. Overview
Naming documents and folders
Edit, Comment, and View options
Share a document with specific people
Share a document as a link
Use folders as staff handout folders
Use folders as student turn-in folders
Use forms to turn in assignments
Using templates
Use comments in the grading process
Use revision history

16. 1. Naming of documents and folders
Agree upon a common naming scheme for
files and folders.
For example, include in the name:
o the current school year (four digits
such as 2011 for school year
2011-2012)
o your class period (two digits such
as 03 for 3rd period)
o your name (last name then first
name)
o the name of the document or
folder
A document may be named: 2011-07-
Kamau John-English Research Paper

17. 2.Edit, Comment and View Options
When you choose to share a document through Google
Docs, you get to decide how much access that person
has to your document.
Can edit
Can comment
Can view

18. 3.Share a Document with Specific
People
This is a good option to use if you are
sharing the document with specific
people or groups of people that can
entered by email address.
This is also best for a one-shot or
unique sharing need, and not for when
you do plan to share a lot of documents
with the same people over a period of
time.
Click the big blue "Share" button and
then "Add people".

19. 4.Share a Document as a Link
This is useful when you are not sure of
everyone in the target audience, or do
not have an easy way to include them
through an email group.
In such a case you will need to be able
to share a special link with these
people.
Click the big blue "Share" button, then
click "Change" to alter privacy settings.

20. 4. Share a Document as a Link……
Since the link for the document will be very long and confusing,
you will need to consider how to share it with others. Options
might include:
Email the link to those who need it.
Post the link on your website, blog, forum, or other online
source.
Put the link inside another document and share that
document (perhaps as a document with a whole list of links).
Turn the link into a QR Code
Use a URL shortener

21. Using Folders
If you need to share documents frequently with the same
people over a period of time, you will find that using folders
will make the process easier.
Unlike the normal idea of folders, you can put a document
into multiple folders at once in Google Docs (similar to how
you can put multiple labels on one Gmail message.)

22. 5.Use Folders as Staff Handout Folders
One good use for shared folders is to create a
handout folder for your class. This would be a
folder where you can put any documents you
want your students to have access to, but not
be able to change. These would be read-only
documents for your students. Examples
would include handouts, study guides, and
templates that they could make a copy of to
edit their own version.

23. 5.Use Folders as Staff Handout
Folders…
• Create a normal folder.
• Name it something that will make sense.
• Share the folder with your students and give
them only “Can view” rights.
• Have your students click the email link they get to
open the shared folder, making sure it has added
the handout folder to their list of shared folders.
• Now anything you add to the folder will
automatically be available to the students in the
shared handout folder.

24. 6. Use folders as student turn- in
folders
• Another good use for shared folders is for
students to create turn-in folders for a
teacher. Then to turn in an assignment, the
student simply adds the document to the
turn-in folder and it will be available to the
teacher.

25. 6. Use folders as student turn- in
folders……….
• Have each student create a normal folder, name
it something that makes sense.
• Have them share the folder with you with “Can
comment” or “Can edit” rights.
• Now you drag and drop their shared folders into
your own year and period folders to organize
them.
• Anytime a student needs to turn in an
assignment, they simply add it to their turn-in
folder for your class period and the document
will now be available for you to access.

26. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments
• Another creative option for managing the
submission of documents is to use Google
Forms to collect the needed information. The
form does not take the place of sharing the
documents, but instead helps you as a teacher
to manage the shared assignments.

27. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments…..
• Teacher makes a form:
• The teacher creates a Google Form that will be
used to collect the assignment turn-in
information
• Include items such as Last Name, First Name,
Assignment title (use a “Choose from a list”
question), and URL for assignment.
• The teacher shares the Form link with the
students.

28. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments…..
• Students submit their assignment
information:
• Student shares document with teacher as
normal.
• Student copies the web address of the shared
document.
• The student now accesses the assignment
turn-in form, fills in their information, and
pastes in the link to their shared document.

29. 7. Use forms to turn in assignments…..
• Teacher uses form to manage assignments:
• Teacher opens the form spreadsheet to see the
assignments that have been submitted.
• The teacher can click on the assignment links to
quickly open the shared documents.
• The teacher can add notes in the columns to the
right of the data.
• Data can be filtered by assignment.
• Old assignment information can be removed (by
deleting the rows) or hidden.

30. 8. Using templates
• Templates are especially useful in a couple of
situation:
• With young or inexperienced students, a
template can help them get started on their
project without being limited by their lack of
proficiency.
• Also, when time is limited, templates can help all
users to spend time inserting their content,
rather than losing time creating the document
layout.

31. 9. Use Revision History
• When going paperless, you typically will only
have one copy of a document, instead of several
paper copies that may show the changes over
time (such as rough drafts).
• It can be very beneficial to see how a student has
revised a document, and to see which students in
a group did which portions of the assignment.
• Google Docs allows you to see the full revision
history for a document and revert back to any
earlier version if needed.
