A1 I've always been decent writer, but never really enjoyed it. Really want to do more, esp w/blogs, but don't feel strong enough #gafechat

It is so fun! I started blogging this summer! The real challenge will be to continue through the school year! #gafechat

In reply to @mbswoods, @ryanrismiller

Yes. Many times I feel it is easier and effective to hit record. I have also visual evidence for support #gafechat

In reply to @MLunoff

ericcurts Sep 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Google Keep is awesome for a Writer's Notebook. Can write thoughts, record voice notes, take pictures, doodle, save links, etc #gafechat

MLunoff Sep 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Ditto...can never pick one area to stay focused on #gafechat

In reply to @mbswoods, @ryanrismiller

MLunoff Sep 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I like it! Any particular app/program you use to record videos? #gafechat

In reply to @ryanrismiller

LISDTechie - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Ss must understand purpose and expectation of the assignment before hand and receive valuable feedback thru the writing process #gafechat

In reply to @mr_middle_2

LISDTechie - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Slides is easy to use & can do landscape or portrait page, but will start to low slowly when a ton of slides are added. #gafechat

mr_middle_2 Sep 5 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2. The key in using Google is the real-time feedback available! Just today, I was commenting on S journals while they wrote! #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q2: How can you use Google tools to support the development of a writer’s notebook? #gafechat

Can't wait to use Google Keep this year in completing @NationalHistory Projects! #gafechat

In reply to @ericcurts, @NationalHistory

aprilchauvette Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2. Like w/ any feedback, comments WITHOUT grades = the most impact. So at its simplest, I'm thinking gdocs w/ comment access. #gafechat

ryanrismiller Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: capacity to use speech to text is always a plus to access the opportunity for brainstorming process. #gafechat

mbswoods Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: OMG, how could you not look at drive w/o noticing all the potential for collaboration, suggestions, sharing, and more! #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT

That was supposed to say 'load slowly' #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Slides is easy to use & can do landscape or portrait page, but will start to low slowly when a ton of slides are added. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Google Docs - use Document outline to organize pages, Ss can hand draw using Google Keep and insert into doc with Keep tool. #gafechat

jisd_inst_tech Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: One of the Ts I support is using Slides this year and likes it better than Docs because of versatility. #gafechat

MLunoff Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 Love the way that you can share on Google Docs & can collaborate w/peers. Opp to write while brainstorming & learning w/others #gafechat

mr_middle_2 Sep 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Yes! I love this as do some Ss but some students are self-conscious about using this tool. :/ #gafechat

In reply to @ryanrismiller

A2. Thoughts on Google Drawings for mind mapping? Flexible enough? Or would it ruin the flow?#gafechat

mr_middle_2 Sep 5 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Very interesting... Does this T provide templates for journaling and such? Just not enough natural organization for me. #Gafechat

In reply to @jisd_inst_tech

MLunoff Sep 5 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 Lots of great Chrome apps & extensions--Workflowy for one--that can help organize ideas for the writing process #gafechat

ericcurts Sep 5 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Ss can use random writing prompt generators to kickstart some ideas, like this one with Google Sheets: https://t.co/POF5rcv4rv #gafechat

mr_middle_2 Sep 5 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Love it. As a SS T, I wouldn't use it a ton... but do plan to use in planning NHD project this year. #gafechat

A3: (continued) Or use this emoji writing prompt generator with Google Sheets: https://t.co/eK6WMqdY0Q #gafechat

jisd_inst_tech Sep 5 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Have used Coggle, Drawings, and even Padlet for brainstorming. #gafechat

ericcurts Sep 5 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Ss can also use Google Drawings for graphic organizers to brainstorm: https://t.co/0O0cN4V6N8 #gafechat

mr_middle_2 Sep 5 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3. Plan to use Keep, Padlet, and Mentimeter as a brainstorming tool! #gafechat

A6. Rubrics (to set expectations and allow for self-assessment) and descriptive feedback (to coach toward growth). #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Sep 5 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Yes! Feedback from people other than the teacher is powerful. #gafechat

A6: Peer feedback is great for student writing. Share Docs with Comment rights to give and get suggestions. #gafechat

ericcurts Sep 5 @ 9:48 PM EDT

No, the voice recordings show up like normal links in the comment section. Ss just click them. They do not need extension. #gafechat
