Problem Identification:
Teachers and students at GOC (Gwinnett Online Campus) utilize a variety of free online
innovations for both instructional practices (content delivery and assignment submission) as well
as communication and management of data and assignments on a daily basis.
While Gwinnett Countys Quality-Plus Teaching Strategies encourages the use of technology to
effectively plan, teach and access information, both type of learner (teacher and student)
struggle with the collection of vast amounts of information, the storage of information, the
creation of documents to support collaboration within assignments and projects as well as access
to collections of information from multiple devices. By using free Google tools, all learners are
able to access information such as documents, spreadsheets, and presentations from multiple
computers and different locations as Google is a web based storage site. There are a plethora of
tools within Google that can help with organization and the delivery of assignments to the
teacher. In the Gwinnett County Quality-Plus Teaching Strategies, collaboration is another key
teaching strategy. When teachers or students need to collaborate on projects or assignments, the
Google platform provides the ability for learners to make modifications on the same form in
live time from any device without sharing via email.
Communication between students and teachers in an asynchronous fashion is the key to success
in an online environment and is a third strategy in the Gwinnett County Quality-Plus Teaching
Strategies. The ability to refer to instructional communication more than once is important when
explanation of material is given to the student from the teacher. Documenting communication
between student and teacher as well as parent and teacher is important when referring to student
successes or difficulties. This documentation gives the teacher a written log of where the student
is struggling as well as when the student is able to move to the next level. Using several Google
tools can provide a communication log for all parties to view.
During department meetings, an informal survey of the primary audience shows there are varied
methods used for collecting and storing student orientation information data as created by the
teacher to suit individual needs and styles. Most members of this audience use the Microsoft
Excel spreadsheet, however, this requires teacher input into the spreadsheet. As a time and labor
savings, with the use of the Google form tool, teachers can collect required information by
utilizing parent/ student input. Additionally, teachers can tailor the form to the information they
find most useful to the management of their online classroom. As a third benefit, teachers can
make completion of the form a requirement using platform content release conditions. This
forces the completion of the form prior to content delivery.
Instructional Goals:
The primary audience will be able to identify a minimum of one Google tool to enhance
instruction.
The primary and secondary audiences will be able to identify a minimum of one Google
format.
The secondary audience will be able to use at least one Google tool for creating an
1. Introduction
The targeted audiences of learners are primarily teachers of grades 4-12 in multiple
subjects who are on the full time of Gwinnett Online Campus (GOC) in Lawrenceville, GA. The
secondary audience of students are in grades 4-12 and live in areas from all parts of Gwinnett
County. Students in the secondary audience choose to attend GOC rather than their district brick
and mortar school location. In the primary audience, all teachers have an advanced degree. 8 of
the 32 certificated full time staff members of the school hold a doctorate degree. All members of
the primary audience have at minimum 3 years of teaching in the online environment.
Of the primary audience, most members teach students in multiple grade levels across
typical brick and mortar school divides. Most members of the primary audience hold
certifications in both elementary and middle school or middle and high school. For 25% of the
certificated staff, members are certified in all three certification divisions, elementary, middle
and high school. GOC serves full-time students in a complete online content delivery model as
well as serving students from around the county in a part-time fashion as a supplement to the
students face-to-face course options.
To obtain the information for the primary audience Learner Analysis, a school data base
search was conducted to determine certification and degree status. The published teaching load
was analyzed and course levels were documented. Discussions were held during department
meetings regarding uses of variety of Google tools. Teacher feedback regarding student progress
was evaluated to determine the needs of the student that can be met using Google tools.

amongst the primary audience.
Members of the secondary audience are required to complete an orientation unit detailing
the basic learning management platform tools. Completion of this orientation unit unlocks
course content. Additionally, all students have opportunities to attend face-to-face technology
help sessions prior to the beginning of the school year. Each week, students in grades 4-8 are
encouraged to attend a learning lab for each content area on campus for a face-to face
instructional time. High school students are encouraged to attend learning labs on Monday for
help with technology or content.
The primary audience that will receive this instruction are highly motivated and highly
technical. Most have used components of Google tools in the past. The primary audience is
excited to learn new uses for new tools through collaboration with peers. Additionally, the
online module can be used for future adjunct training opportunities as it will be placed in the
teacher resource center. The primary audience is most interested in a stable and uniform data
collection and storage system for use in their online classrooms.
The secondary audience that will receive this instruction will benefit most from the
organizational structure of Google Drive. While students at GOC are highly technical compared
to their peers in the brick and mortar, they, too, struggle with organization of their class
materials. By using Google Drive, students will be allowed to access materials from all devices
and locations.
effective. Elementary and Middle grades students are highly engaged with the GOC campus and
the activities offered. While I have often discussed online organization strategies within the
Google Drive during parent conferences, this resource will now be housed on the parent
homepage for use when helping with student organization. The online module may be
referenced during the parent conferences in the future.

8. So, what are some uses for the Google document? Students can use Google document to
complete assignments. This allows for convenient organization of the coursework. For
students in our environment, organization can begin with individual course folders. Within
each folder are unit folders. Within unit folders, there can be multiple lesson folders. Within
each lesson folder, students may save their work. Additionally, students may work
collaboratively for group assignments. Teachers can use Google documents to create
supporting materials and assignments for each lesson. These documents can be easily loaded
in the learning management platform. By using this tool, teachers may access this
presentation from any device rather than being tied to an external storage device, network
document storage or specific machine.

8. So, what are some uses for the Google spreadsheet? Teachers can use the spreadsheet to
store class data and demographics in one location that can be accessed from any device (see
forms below). When I was still teaching, I was able to use the Google spreadsheet feature to
document phone calls to parents. This allowed me to document from any location at times
that were convenient to me. I didnt have to rely on having my work computer handy to
accurately document communication. Additionally, I was able to follow up with an email
from my gmail account to the parent. This gives further documentation for both the teacher
and parent.

Forms. In my new role as testing coordinator, I am able to send a Google Form to students who
then register for their testing slots. This allows me to plan efficiently for proctor slots. Most
recently, I was able to have students pre-register for the PSAT using a google form and this
eliminated cost from ordering too many PSAT test booklets. There are a great number of tools
that, if incorporated correctly, will make the job of the teacher much easier.

UDL principle: The learner is allowed to submit in a variety of ways; differentiation is through
the multiple means of expression. Learners may submit a screencast link within a dropbox, or
send a share link of a google document. This google document or screencast can be shared
within the discussion board as well. High functioning learners may choose to create a pow-toon
or other presentation using another free web 2.0 tool.
Responses may include managing instructional materials, documents or presentations.
Additional responses might include management of registrations and data.
Student data can be analyzed and used to drive instruction. If the class is more comfortable with
one topic, you can spend more time on a different lesson. Collaboration on technology tools
among peers leads to further implementation of the tools.
UDL Principle: The learner is allowed to submit in a variety of ways; differentiation is through
the multiple means of expression. Learners may submit a screencast link within a dropbox, or
send a share link of a google document as shown above. A discussion board with the rubric
listed above is an easy and effective asynchronous method of submission. This google document
or screencast can be shared within the discussion board as well. For synchronous
communication of ideas, students can enter a Collaborate chat room. Students can be divided
into breakout rooms for large groups. This allows for all participants to share ideas.

This sequence uses several tools within the course learning management platform such as the
discussion board and the dropbox as well as external tools within the Google Drive platform to
show mastery of the creation of documents, forms, spreadsheets and presentations. Learners will
identify alternative uses for the tools and decide independently the tools to be used most often in
their classrooms.
Lesson 1: An Introduction to the Uses for Specific Tools within Google
Objective 1: Identify the basic tools within the Google Drive tool bank.
Objective 1A: The learner will describe a system for course file organization within
Google Drive.
Objective 1B: The learner will identify uses of forms for course and class management.
Objective 1C: The learner will identify types of presentation documents and suggest ideas
for classroom implementation.
Initial Presentation: Provide an example of student work stored within the Google Drive tool via
screencast. Within a google document, invite learners to participate in a listing of how three
components of Google tools (forms, file storage and presentation documents) might be used
within their class or learning environment. They will use the collaborative tool to add to the lists
in an asynchronous fashion.
Generative Strategies: In a discussion board within the Course Learning Management Platform,
direct a dialog that identifies specific uses for each of the identified tools. Learners will give an
example of how a tool might be used in the management of their class, how to create a personal
file storage system or how to direct students to organize their documents and how to help choose
which presentation tool to use as part of a student learning experience.
Alternative Generative Strategy: Each learner could submit a word document listing their
specific strategy for use of the chosen tools. (The alternative generative strategy is not
optimal as learners take ideas from a free exchange of ideas within the discussion board
for use in their own learning environment)
Alternative Generative Strategy: Students can present their ideas for uses of the Google
Drives tools within a prezi, pow toon or screencast. The link to their presentation should
be posted within the initial discussion board.
Generative Strategy: Learners will create a form to use in their learning environment directly
related to data that is generally collected by returning a paper form to the teacher. This form will
be posted to the discussion board to be utilized by classmates.
Lesson 4: How to create organization rules and implement an online document storage
system within Google Docs.
Objective 3: After completing the lesson, the learner will demonstrate how to create a logical
system to organize student work by unit then task in the Google Drive tool.
2A. Discuss the impact of a web based storage tool for student work
2B. Describe the relationship between classwork organization and student success
2C. Demonstrate how to share student work for a collaborative work environment
2D. Demonstrate how to share student work for evaluation
Initial Presentation: Learners will perform an article search regarding student organizational
strategies and skills.
Sample articles to be used as introduction reading material include:
o http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/8958.html
o http://www.pbisworld.com/tier-2/organizational-tools/
o http://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED501312
Generative Strategy: Break the students into group of two. Each group should identify the key
categories needed within the online organization system for their course. Learners should
identify types of documents that will be stored in the online system. Learners should determine
how often to update the online storage system.
Example: For an online student, it is recommended a folders titled with each course.
Further each course will have folders with each unit name. Within each unit folder, each
item will contain a specific naming convention corresponding to the assignment or lesson
title.
Students will place the outline of their course organizational system into the dropbox within the
LMS.
Alternative strategy: Have the learner groups present their strategy using a screencast of
their Google Drive account. Post the screencast within the dropbox.
Alternative Strategy: Have the learner groups post their organization method via Google
doc. Post the shared link within the dropbox.
Lesson 5: Identify the Types and Create a Word Processing Document within Google Drive
Objective 4: After completing the lesson, the learner will demonstrate how to create presentation
documents within the Google Drive tool.
4A. Demonstrate how to create a spreadsheet within the Google tool
4B. Demonstrate how to create a presentation within the Google tool
4C. Demonstrate how to upload and modify a document when created with another word
processing tool such as the Microsoft Office tools
Initial Strategy: Learners will view a screencast on the google word processing documents within
Google Drive. Learners will identify what type of document they use most in their classroom
practice.
Generative Strategy: Learners will be paired according to areas of interest based on their
response to the google form. Learners will create a document, a spreadsheet and presentation
within their Google Drive. Learners will share their presentation with the students within the
class through the Google Groups section. The instructor will provide access to the Google
Groups site.
