How I Use It

One specific application that has worked well for me is a collaborative self-selected vocabulary log that I use with my AP students. I have shared the document with all of them and they each access the document from their own devices to log their words.

My Take

I am a big fan of Google docs. I use it often, both to share documents with students (it saves a ton of paper) and to invite student collaboration. My only criticism of the program is how difficult it is to use on the iPad. Although Google Drive has made it easier, my students still struggle and often must resort to using it at home.
