Have you ever used Google Classroom with your literacy stations? Recently many schools I work with have been purchasing chromebooks and are wanting to use the devices during their station/small group time. Here are a few ideas I have seen in classrooms using chromebooks in literacy stations.
The Morning Journal
The teacher linked a video to the Classroom Assignment and then attached a Google Slides where students could type their journal response on a specific slide. This could be a collaborative effort or the setting in Google Classroom could force each student to make their own copy. After the student creates their response, they can turn in the assignment for the teacher to review.
Reading Log Recording Sheet
The teacher created a reading log recording sheet template and then added it to an assignment on Google Classroom. The students were then able to get their own individual copy which was saved in their Google Drive. This made it easy to distribute a paperless reading log which will always be in the student's Google Drive for easy access to complete each time a student completes a book.
Reading Comprehension Activity
If you are looking to create a paperless classroom, this might be the route for you! Google Classroom allows you to upload a reading passage as well as a comprehension quiz. Not only can students read the passage on the chromebook, but they can also take the comprehension quiz online, thus creating a paperless classroom.
After watching a few teaching in action, I put together a short presentation to help other teachers incorporate chromebooks into station work time.
These are just a few ways I have seen teachers incorporate chromebooks and Google Classroom into their literacy/small group stations. What other ways have you seen teachers use chromebooks during literacy/small group time?
