Collaborating Using Google Drive















I have to confess that putting my students in groups in order to do collaborative activities has been one of the most excruciating things for me to do in the past. Predictably, there has always been one student who has taken over the group, even when I have given specific directions and roles to each member in the group.  Eventually, he/she  monopolizes the participation of everyone, rendering the group activity useless. Well, when I found out more about Google Drive and how it can be used for collaborative purposes, my eyes lit up. What attracts me to Google Drive is its ability to share files. When you share a document in Google Drive, you can edit it in real time. I believe this can be helpful to a teacher when he/she does group activities.
