Google Groups

Google Groups 
Google groups is a great resource for a classroom. As a future teacher I can have my students use Google groups to communicate with their group members on a project that they would have to complete.  The students get to share their ideas experiences and communicate with each other without actually being in the same room.

For my "Google Groups" Assignment we were placed in groups of 5. We then had to participate in a discussion thread. This can be a great resource in the classroom. A teacher can have her students create a discussion thread pertaining to the subject their currently learning.
Then we had to create a story, and share the document among other members of the group. Every member had to contribute at least 150 words to the story.  Everyone gets to add to the document.

Next we had to create a presentation using the presentation file under Google drive. It is just like creating a PowerPoint presentation but with a few differences. If you are familiar with PowerPoint then it would be fairly easy for you to  I must say that before this class I did not know Google was capable of doing all this. We had to each select a chapter from our book then create a seven slide presentation concerning the content of that chapter.
