- Each person in the group should make a slide that contains:
- a powerful image related to technology that you find online
- the link to that image source
- an explanation in the Notes field as to why they selected that image
- When everyone has completed their slide, each person should view all slides and use the Comment feature to write a brief response to each slide.
- Next, consider any upcoming student work that might offer an opportunity for students to show mastery of their learning in this format. Individually, determine when in the coming month you’ll have students create a Google Slides presentation.
- Now consider the kinds of protocols students will need in order to work collaboratively to create their presentation. Make a list of the steps students will follow in the process and next to each note any guidelines you plan to set for your students. In so doing, you’ll set your students up for success!
