Students are able to write for different audiences. They can blog, and they can write a document, and they can play games or Quizlet, and all the ways allow them to show what they know in different ways and for different audiences (blog, classroom, parent, etc).

Students have enjoyed using Google documents to work together on assignments. They also like doing partner work on the computer. They feel the burden is lighter and it gives them the chance to discuss the content of the lesson and ideas. Students also pass their computers around to get feedback on assignments and/or writing they have done.

My students use blogs and class questions on Google Classroom to communicate and collaborate together nearly every day.  They read and comment on each other's blogs. They see each other's answers to questions. Not only do the Chromebooks facilitate working together quickly, but they see immediate results from other students to help them reflect and assess their own answers. - Chris

Before, when we went into a writing lab, I only knew what my students were doing when they handed in a published document. Now, I can be with them every step of the way. I can talk with them, I can draft on their draft, and we can edit together. Learning is more collaborative, and students edit more because they don't reprint. GoogleDocs and Classroom make the process seamless.

Students enjoy writing more when they are able to research their own material for essay or research writing. They also write more, use more resources, revise more, and have better quality writing. Students are also interested in sharing and getting feedback on their writing.

classwork can be organized, created, and evaluated online during student work time, keeping a conversation going as they go through the writing process.

Gather and evaluate info.
1. I  gave my students a Google Forms quiz and was able to quickly gather data. I was able to show the students a chart of their responses and the quiz average.

2. I then used the data to differentiate activities based on the quiz scores.

Students use the comment section of Google classroom to ask and answer each other's questions.

They use the share and comment features in google docs to do peer reviews.

I had students create side-by-side essays with the share feature on google docs.

Students took collaborative notes on google docs.

Gather and evaluate information for learning: The non-fiction text sets that my students use to write their argument and informative essays are completely self created.
Create something original: Instead of writing a final paper about what they learned as a result of their I-Search research,  my students were able to use the chromebooks to create projects. They made movies, shared powerful video compilations, created surveys and shared data
--all things that they would not have been able to do without the chromebooks.
Communicate: We are a nearly paperless classroom. My students and I are able to communicate with each other via email every day. My favorite thing is when they send me links to things pertaining to my Genius Hour project or my I-Search question.
Work collaboratively for learning: None of these projects were done alone. They are working together constantly, which would  be nearly impossible without the chromebooks.
