Google Groups was our first and only group assignment. You can view our story HERE. I have never really enjoyed group work but this was actually quite fun and I had some great girls in my group. They all did their part, carried their load, and we finished early with a perfect score. We wrote a story called "Sally's Great Adventure" where each of us had to write the continuance of what happened to Sally in our section. The story began and got quite twisted, but very cute, by the end. I enjoyed making up a fairy tale, and of course little Sally lived happily ever after.
I thought it was very neat that when more than one of us was on the group at a time, we were able to see what changes the other person was making. Made it quite interesting, when you saw that someone did like the way you worded something. :) Using that with students would be VERY helpful, I could help them with homework assignment and such while they were at home as if they were staying after class with me.
We had to do a solo part, which was to make a powerpoint also. You can view mine HERE. It wasn't a powerpoint, but it was very similar. It was a presentation in google docs. We could use pictures, links, etc. I could use this for my students, it would be something they could view and review at their house as well as in class. The NET Standards for the Google Groups assignment is definitely number five which is to Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership.When I did this assignment I felt as though I grew in presenting items in a professional manner.
