Google Document Reflection

We created a Google Document where students can all interactively answer questions about a book. We made a table and created basic questions that a 1st-3rd grade class might be able to answer about the book we chose. With Google Documents, students can answer on their own time and at their own pace, and can also read what other students have read to help them. With a project like this when other students can see what everyone writes, it is probably a better idea to have questions that can be answered with an opinion rather than a real answer because otherwise, students might just copy off of the first person who answers the questions. Also, we're not really sure how well this type of activity would work with lower elementary but would definitely be an excellent tool for students in 5th grade and up. I really like Google Document because it is fun and easy to use and is also easy for students to use and a great way for them to see what their fellow classmates are writing.
