**PEER CRITIQUE**Google doc to locate the website you are critiquing ** @http://goo.gl/RfdWvB **

**Bring students, teachers and teams together** Fast, easy collaboration is what makes Google Apps unique. Our website and document creation tools offer real-time editing, powerful sharing controls, and seamless compatibility – an ideal environment for learning in the 21st century. **Study together in real time** With Google Docs, just share with a couple of clicks and every student in your class has access to the right version of any document, spreadsheet or presentation. Everyone can jump in and make edits at the same time. No more back-and-forth email attachments and versions that you can’t keep track of. **Study together across distance** Does your institution have more than one campus? Some students studying abroad? Whether near or far, students and staff can arrange impromptu video chats right from your Gmail inbox or jump into the same document and edit it together as if they’re sitting at the same computer. Now think about how this could be useful in your Block classes. I know your are being put into collaborative groups to create micro teaches and lesson plans. Hmm, could this be useful? Google Apps for Education can help streamline academic tasks like essay writing and class scheduling. A group of students can work together on a piece of work in Google Docs, seeing changes in real time rather than waiting for versions to be sent via email. Students can see exactly when their professors are available and vice versa with Google Calendar. By removing these time-consuming bottlenecks, Apps frees you up to spend more time on learning and teaching.
 * Get stuff done faster**

Apps products like Gmail, Docs, and Calendar are already used by hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide. Your students and teachers are already familiar with the products - this means less time training your organization, or learning how to use these tools yourself.

No time wasted looking for elusive emails, documents, project sites or files. With Google Apps, all your students and teachers’ stuff is in one place, can be quickly found with our powerful search (no more sorting and filing), and shared with anyone within your school or university with just a click. The first step is sign in with your Google Docs/DRIVe account. If you don;t have one, create one here: @https://accounts.google.com

download and install the Google Drive app. It is FREE

** Part 1: Your table is a Team!! ** Now to get a little practice, your table of 3-4 is a team. Create a Google Doc with your collaborative Notes about the Edutopia Website and the Teaching Channel website. Each of you should use a different color to add your notes to the Google doc. Think about this as NOTES for a presentation that you might give to your colleagues about Edutopia and Teaching Channel and why they will find this a useful resource. Think of it as Professional Development in your school and every team of teachers has to present a useful resource and show their colleagues how to use it and why they should. Add your Google Doc o Your Website (link). **Title it: Google Docs, Edutopia** and **The Teaching Channel**
