Presenter:

Elin Waring, Professor, Sociology, Lehman

Abstract:

Google Applications such as spreadsheets and presenta­tions provide powerful tools for real time student collabora­tion and discovery. This can range from collecting data to sharing results of experiments to creating a presentation to share immediately. By making this collaboration easy and immediately available to both students and the instructor collaborative work becomes even more powerful and easier to manage. Examples of activities and collaborative student work using Google Apps will be shared.
