Google docs is a free program that can be found online and mimics the features of Microsoft Word. In addition, Google Docs also provides the feature of allowing collaboration between those that have access to the document. Alkhataba et al. (2018) “Since Google Docs is put away on the web, learners can work at school and at home from any PC with an Internet association, and they will probably return to their work in the event that they know another person will remark on it” (p. 439). Students can be grouped based on mixed or same ability levels. Collaboratively, students can work on the same document on their own devices to write about their text. Instead of deleting sections, students can add comments to help partners revise and edit their work.

Google Sites is an online, free websites that students can use to collaboratively work on a presentation. Just like Wiki, Google sites has, “automatic saving, organizing, and analysis of historical records of the process” (Zhang and Sou, 2021, p. 8). Students can use Google Sites as a choice to display their presentation of a text that was read as a group. Students can work on the same web page while visiting sub pages to work on. Sub pages can be created to focus on different text features of a fictional text; such as: writing about the characters, story theme, sequential events, and the problem/resolution. With non-fiction texts, students can break the sub pages into different sections that cover the topic. Overall, students will have the website automatically save while it updates for everyone at the same time.

Rashid et al. (2019) state that, “The process of teaching and learning in today’s higher education involves mobile and online applications, which has enhanced communication among students and teachers and enabling learning to go beyond the walls of the classroom” (p. 610). Using Padlet will allow students to communicate beyond the walls of the classroom. Depending on when students are permitted to work on their Padlet, students can work on this online program from the comfort of their classroom or at home. Rashid et al. (2019) also note that, “The element of peer involvement has shown increase in motivation and enjoyment in achieving a task in a group” (p. 611). Padlet is a very easy, customizable program that students can work together with. Padlet allows uses to choose the way their posts are organized and students have the choice to post text, images, links, videos, and many more options. Students can be very creative in the way that they present information they’ve learned in their fictional/nonfictional texts.

Iona (2017) explains that Flipgrid is a, “video discussion platform which allows the sharing of user-generated videos, among an invited group of people, in order to form a ‘social learning community” (p. 1).  Students reading can share through a video format some important takeaways they’ve learned through their texts. To prepare themselves, teachers should share the importance of practicing. Through a script, students can can plan what will be said in a video together. Once flip grids are shared, the teacher can have students who are not in the group leave comments as a response to each group’s video. By leaving comments, students can ask questions they may have or write about something they’ve learned. Parents may be concerned with this option due to the video featuring young students; however, Flipgrid can be private. “Any Grid you create is private and can only be accessed by those who have the share link or code, which you can easily share with your students” (Iona, 2017, p. 1). When signing up for Flipgrid, the easiest way would involve students using their school emails. Due to this, grids being private by default is a safe option for many classrooms. Although the Flipgrids are private by default, there are shareable links or codes that allow it possible for the class to have the only access to these videos.

Wertz (2014) explain that in Storybird, “…users select a picture set to illustrate their digital storybooks and then write text to tell their own stories using the images as inspiration. The artwork is meant to aid in narrative writing by giving users a source for plot, setting, characterization, and descriptive details” (p. 5). With the help of the artwork, it will allow students to begin writing with a starting point. Often, students get very excited to write stories that involve some creative imagination and they can achieve this with a starting point. Having students work on Storybird will also be a great center idea that links together reading and writing. Students can become inspired and read pieces of writings from other authors, or they can become their own authors.
