Trying Google Drive which ain't no my first time, I was relishing it because I did it with my friends without face-to-face. That's the purpose of using Gdrive as Collaborative Writing Project. Briefly, my duty on my assignment was as the Outlining Facilitator which is structuring an essay into a coherent one. As the rules say, I already made exactly 4 sentences summary of "When Tablet Turning Teacher" essay also with my own opinion about that title. Being an outlining facilitator, I had an introduction, 3 paragraphs, and conclusions. Not forget to tell my other friends to re-read their own ideas and soon after that, I elicited their ideas into a properly essay also with the PAC method. Purpose-Audience-Content. Last but not least action, checking grammatically is a must-to-do thing that should be done in the end before submitting the task.
Like I said before, it ain't my first time having Gdrive as my discussion with friends even lecturer. Even I already tried it for couple times, I still found some difficulties that happened every time I operated it, such as the discussion one. It's not easy to gather all the participants into one essay and you had to make plenty arguments by typing what's on your mind. Sometimes you want to interrupt immediately because you have something much better but your typing skill isn't good enough. Occasionally, what you've written isn't as same as you've been thinking a.k.a the way you deliver your idea isn't precisely same like in your head. Even the difficulties such I said before, Collaborative Writing Project is the best way to work an essay together rather than sending email one by one which is wasting your precious time.
If I'm a teacher, I'd like to let my students use Gdrive as their working essay and they can still have some arguments in a comment section, but I allow them having face-to-face arguments to make sure that everything stays on the line. Me, as the teacher, I just supervise them from their discussion forum and unquestionably let them ask me for opinions either on or offline. That's what I'm gonna do soon if I'm a teacher. You are totally granting all of you, my readers to see my friends and my essay using Gdrive as our Collaborative Writing Project right underneath this sentence. Enjoy reading and keep learning ;)
