Week 3: January 25 - 31
In week 3, each team will choose a debate topic from the 50 topics and create team presentations but with only images and no text. They will create an account on Canva and create a collaborative group.
One person will create the Google presentation slides and give editing rights to the team members by adding their gmails to the "share" feature on the top right hand side of the doc.
The aim of using Google slides is for all the members of the group to add their input. It's all about team collaboration. Please add me to the doc with editing rights. My gmail is nellie.muller.deutsch@gmai.com

Team Peer Learning Remember that you're here to explore various tools for student collaboration, work with peers, support one another, and develop skills that you can use with your students. You may find Carol Dweck's work on the importance of the process as opposed to the need for perfection and to reach a point in time of interest.
Learning to use Google drive tools and other technologies is an ongoing process that never ends. There's always more to learn because the platform develops, changes, and improves and so do we. Keep that in mind as you work on your collaborative tasks.
