Using Coggle.it (Co-Constructive Tool) and Google Docs for Collaborative Lesson Plan

 

Today we have used coggle.it to construct the skeleton overview of our group lesson plan.

Last time, I used coggle.it to design the concept map of visiting Taktsang myself. In that case, it was only me creating that concept map so the coggle.it that I used, in that case, was a constructive tool. In today's case, I and the other 6 group members jointly constructed the skeleton overview of our lesson plan. We have chosen the topic " Protecting Habitat" from class five science. 

The steps in creating a concept map are already posted in the previous post. 

The steps in planning a lesson plan in google docs collaboratively are as follows;

1. Click on "Google apps" in your email
2. Select google "Docs" from the options
3. Select "Blank" to start the new document
4. Title the "Untitled Document" Click on "Share"
5. Add your members by typing their email ID on the "Add people and groups" sections
6. Click on the "Done" button
7. Now you can edit your work jointly

After planning a lesson in google docs with my 6 friends, I have learned that it is a very effective tool since I was able to see their ideas online. We can edit it jointly either by commenting or chatting. On the other hand, it needed hard work and constant touch since we as digital immigrants should be knowing how to use that effectively. Otherwise, one person having limited skills in operating with google docs will create havoc since he/she might delete all the text. So, we must learn on how to work with google docs.
