Google Docs Leveraging Online Learning among Collaborative Teams

Google Docs is a tool that breaks down barriers and creates less paperwork for our staff members. Teams create agendas and track minutes in a Google document that is shared amongst the team and with building and district administrators. Some of our teams use Google spreadsheets to share student assessment data as well. This approach has several distinct advantages. Accountability – At any given time a team member can refer back to previously made decisions within the document. Administrators can also gain a better understanding of the team’s progress without being present. Organization – Teams no longer need to shuffle through 3-ring binders full of handouts, agenda and minutes. Teams are required to create a collection within Google Docs that encompasses their agendas and minutes, norms, goals and other pertinent documentation.  Accessibility – Our administrative team can access these documents where ever and whenever.
