Students under 13 years can not legally create a Gmail account needed for using Google
Docs. To overcome this problem, the school needs to register
with Google Apps for Education so that I can monitor the online
activities of students.
·
Before
the lesson, I took parents’ consent for creating Gmail accounts of learners.
Since my school is not yet registered with Google Apps, I sent a note to
parents that they can share the password of their child’s Gmail account and
supervise them at home.
·
Parents
of 3 learners did not give consent for creating Gmail accounts. Therefore, I
gave learners the opportunity to contribute on Google Docs using my Gmail ID during the
learning session after taking parents’ consent. Later, I sent a web link of students' work to these parents.
·
To
ensure safe use of Gmail and Google Docs by the learners, I prepared and shared
a handout outlining the e-safety rules for emailing and using Google Docs.
