Collaboration with Google Drive on the West African Kingdoms

Ms. Duhan's students worked with a partner to complete a graphic organizer comparing the West African Kingdoms on a Google Document. They used multiple sources in both print and digital to fill in the individual boxes for each West African Kingdom. They learned how to share a document and work simultaneously on their individual Chromebooks. They also practiced using Google tools like research  and image search. These 6th graders enjoyed working with a partner to complete the same task but also being able to work independently on their own Chromebook.  They had the option to sit next to their partner or work with them from a distance. Here is an example of one group's completed project. ​​​
