Overview
Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides have a revision history pane that allows you to view at a glance all changes made to a document by each collaborator. You will explore this function within your school team’s "Home Group Synthesis" (part of the Create Your Digital Workshop Journal).
Directions
- For the revision history to be useful, you need a document that has been worked on over time by one or more collaborators. Open the shared Google Doc you created during the activity titled Create Your Digital Workshop Journal.
- If you did not previously create such a doc, return to the workshop site and locate that activity. Complete that activity first, then return to this one.
- Open Using the Revision History in a Google Doc How-To resource in the IDEportal.
- Explore the edits and revisions that were made during your team’s collaborative process. Discuss ways that this function might be useful as you continue to work collaboratively.
- Then, consider how the revision history feature could impact the writing process in your classroom. Add these ideas to your journal.
