Cloud Computing


Hi Everyone,

Here is my google doc assignment.
http://summercamp20.blogspot.com/p/camp-activity-7-cloud-computing.html

The idea would be to have 1-2 students take this poem and revise it to make their own using the same theme.  The link to the doc or the doc itself would be shared, student would make a copy, and go for it and send it back into the class's shared folder (that's already shared with them).

Cloud computing is amazing, and assignments like this would save a ton of paper, and allow students to have their work be more visible, which increases accountability and motivation.  It's a great way to collaborate and evaluate work.  A couple of cons, though: The learning curve and monitoring students' communication.

  1. What a neat idea for an assignment! And thank you for mentioning both the pros and the cons--we need to keep both in mind as we give students school Gmail accounts, and make sure that we teach them appropriate, acceptable use.
