Using a table to get planning happening quickly without the issues


Change names to Heading1

Then
Insert
Table of Contents

Could use this for dates and headings etc in a personal doc,
Then you can click on these in order to hyperlink quickly to this area.  Great for feeding back to students quickly.

Google channel - watch cool Google clips here


Every time the kids add a new piece of writing they can add it to the same doc and every time they write they give it a heading "Descriptive Writing task 08/04/15"
Click Heading 1
then it will take you straight to that piece of writing.


Using
'mention comments'

+your.name@helpeachother.com

"This idea is similar to yours - maybe you should collaborate"

Lots of tools I've used before:
Sharing
Commenting
Suggesting edits
Revision history
Draftback

Awesome to play back for students to see history though - encouraging recrafting :)


Could we use a doc and for example - use adjectives to describe (colour code) then that will help kids to see what an adjective is and how to use more of them in their writing etc.
Collecting highlights using Google Read and Write - takes highlights in a similar colour and puts them in a new document - this would be a cool way to attempt to get as many new adjectives as possible without doubling up etc.

Using Kaizena for feedback - does this help reach more students by allowing them to access feedback regardless of reading ability?
Also, providing personalised touch to feedback in order to prevent that relationship level from being lost?

Accessing the Kaizena blog here may give extra ideas

Use Clearly or Readability to clear up webpages so they're not so cluttered.  Allows saving or printing without the clutter.

Loads of cool ideas - extensions etc.  Looking forward to seeing now how I can implement these in order to best present ways for people to maximise their use of these and find shifts in pedagogy through my presentation at Tairawhite TeachXpo - hopefully!

How to make the whole process convincing and attainable and interactive?
Lots of fun to be had!
