119 為什麼要用 google doc 寫作文

看到一篇好有趣的教學經驗分享文，用爛爛的英文試著摘譯一下，並且加入自己的想法。

 what are the benefits of Google Docs that make it worth swimming against the tide?

如果不是真的有那麼大的好處，我幹嘛用「洪荒之力」跟大家的習慣對幹阿！

GDocs can do so much more—things that fit quite nicely into my flipped, just-in-time, technology enabled classrooms.

使用於我的翻轉、即時、科技導向的班級應用。

 I share the assignment, the sample document, and a template for each assigned writing. I don’t give them paper,

無紙，還有各種分享方式。

and they have almost instant access to the documents from any network connected Mac, PC, tablet, or smartphone.

無所不在的寫作環境（現在幾乎也都可以離線處理後，等到連線再上傳）

 share them with me and with their peer-review group.

寫作時有老師跟他的小組協助。

 Their writing processes begin with connecting to support groups, all of which include me. Collaboration and peer-editing is built into their documents from the ground up, and I find that particularly productive and much easier to do with GDocs than with MS Word.

個別化或是合作式寫作隨時可以在寫作課程中出現（學生不再孤單，隨處都有鷹架）

my students share their documents  at the very beginning of the writing process, they do not submit a paper at the very end of the writing process. Thus, I am engaged with their writing much earlier when both I and their peers can be of real help to them.

老師與小組成員隨時可以給予學生鼓勵

 My students learn about writing mostly as they are writing. They learn very little from a failing grade, except that they can’t write. That isn’t the lesson I’m trying to teach.

在寫作中隨時可以學到更多寫作技巧、更少寫作挫折

Because I have access to their documents so early, I learn much more about my students’ writing and the issues that they need to overcome. This positions me for better teaching. It positions the students for better learning. That’s a win-win.

因為早期介入，所以可以當老師的可以知道更多關於學生寫作的狀況及學生需要克服的議題。學生也可以得到更好的學習，這是雙贏。

I almost never have an issue with plagiarism

With the magic of Google Docs, I can see through the text all the way back to the beginning, because through its Revision History feature, GDocs tracks and preserves all edits to a document. It even color codes the changes and stamps the date, time, and identity of the writer.

還可以透過歷程記錄防弊（抄襲）

For instance, a student can give her peers only Comment privileges, which allows them to make comments on the document but not make any changes or share it with others. This teaches my students useful 21st century literacy skills, which include awareness of security and privacy issues. That’s useful.

學生可以透過各種形式來找到他需要的協助

1. 提供註解權限，不會更改到原文
2. 可以編輯（最後也可以由學生透過版本來確認最後自己的呈現）
3. 可以檢視
4. 老師更改作業時也可以提供建議（看看學生是不是要接受，這是google classroom的功能）

我透過這個課程讓學生學會21世紀需要了瞭解的素養技巧，包括了安全與隱私等等議題，那是非常有用的。
