Day 22 Connected Educator Month: Collaboration with Google Docs

How do we build a collaborative culture in online spaces? What are the needed components? What does it look like? What should the connected learner do to make collaboration happen?

A shared vision emerges from the intersection of professional learning community members’ personal visions. First, however, connected learners must develop personal visions through their personal learning network. In this activity, we collaborate on Google Docs to create a shared vision.

• Visit docs.google.com and login with your Google account.
• Visit this shared vision Google Doc slideshow.
• Create your own slide within our slideshow that answers the following questions: What are our (connected educators and learners) guiding principles for how we should operate and work together? Why do we exist? What do we want to create? What should school look like to support the needs of today’s learners?
• When you create your slide, add images and be sure to use a template that expresses how you feel and shows your personality.
