On Google Docs, I posed a question to some of my teachers based on our college word of the week. Each week on the announcements we select a "college" word to focus on with the students. Everyday there is a question sent out in a powerpoint. On Friday, the classes create their own questions as a team, posting it at the front of the building. I was asking feedback from some teachers of how to improve the existing program.
I think that the Google Docs could be used after watching a video. Maybe the teacher poses an ending question prompted by the video, and the students, when they finish their workstations, can provide their feedback on the computer. I also think that some of the higher level questions would be great to debate here, like "If we have faults in Houston, then why don't we have earthquakes?" I think that the teacher could do a great job of providing prompts, but allowing the students more process time than we do orally!
For Google Reader, I have some cool blogs and websites that I have followed from last summer's 23 things. Here are a few of them:
