Google Classroom: A Framework for Visible Thinking and Collaborative Learning

Hi everyone, and thanks for stopping by, because it means you’re interested in the Google Reviews Classroom, and we want to tell you why we wrote it. I’m Holly Parker, a co-author, and that’s Tanya Average, another co-author. We want to explain that we wrote this article for teachers. Whether you’re advanced or at the beginning stages, it’s not about your technical skill. It’s about how you’re going to approach this using pedagogy.

The Framework

So, we broke the article up into a framework. Once you have the devices in your classroom, how do you use them to make student thinking visible, hear from every student in your class, and allow them to share their work? This framework will guide you in implementing these strategies effectively.

Four Key Groups

We also divided the article into four groups when thinking about designing instruction in our class:

1. Checking for Understanding: We always strive to find ways to check for understanding in our classrooms. This section will provide ideas on how to do that effectively using technology.
2. Differentiating Instruction: Every student is unique, and it’s important to cater to their individual needs. This part of the article will show you how to differentiate instruction using various technological tools.
3. Student Demonstrations: Students should have the opportunity to demonstrate their learning in different ways. We will explore how technology can enhance student demonstrations in the classroom.
4. Curating and Reflecting: It’s crucial to curate and reflect on student work. This section will guide you on how to do that effectively, with the help of technological resources.

The article is packed with great ideas and examples that you can immediately apply in your classroom. We hope you’ll take the time to explore it further and see how it can benefit your teaching. Thanks again for stopping by!
