Google Drive is only another way to share documents. Google Drive only allows users to create word documents and not presentations. Google Drive is not beneficial for classroom instruction.
Essential Questions
Overarching Questions: How can the use of technology in the classroom setting be integrated for teaching and learning? Topical Questions: How can the utilization of Google Drive promote teacher collaboration? How can the utilization of Google Drive improve classroom instruction?
All teachers will be evaluated on participation in the assessment following the staff development workshop and also their attendance to the workshop. Teachers will be expected to create their own document using Google Drive. This will be the first step to collaborating with their class. They will also have the opportunity to create a document that will be used to promote collaboration among teachers and administrators. The topic of the document can be at the discretion of the teacher. After the presentation of the workshop all participants involved will be asked to complete a survey.

Strongly Agree (5) rating / I found that teachers really would like more staff development opportunities on the use of Web 2.0 tools Agree(4) and Strongly Agree(5) ratings Allowing students to break up assignments and then combine them together. Sharing notes with other students would be beneficial in helping others complete extensive course work. Students collaborating on the same assignment during a group assignment. Great job! Come back anytime and do other instructional technology staff development workshops.
Assessment Data and Evaluation of Instruction After reviewing the workshop evaluation forms I concluded that teachers found the information I gave on Google Drive would be beneficial for them in the classroom and in the process of planning with other teachers. The information I presented was helpful and informative to my audience. One of the concerns or setbacks teachers had with using Google Drive is the use of email with the students. Many email providers are blocked in a school system so that was one of their major concerns with using Google Drive. The majority of the teachers present felt that their students and their peers will benefit if they use a web based tool such as Google Drive. They also made comments of wanting additional workshops that introduce other Web 2.0 tools that they have access to. Self-Evaluation of Staff Development Workshop The staff development went very well! I think that the teachers present really enjoyed learning about Google Drive and could see that they were interested in other Web 2.0 tools that are available for instructional tools. Many of the participants had not been introduced to Google Drive prior to this workshop so I was actually excited that I could teach them about this easy to use web based tool. I did not have any difficulties but many of the laptops that the participants were using were not able to connect to the Internet. Thankfully I had printed the PowerPoint slides so they could take notes and they followed along with me and others as they manipulated the features of Google Drive. I was very pleased on how it went and Mrs. Parker asked me to come back and teach them again!
