In this collaborative writing, I chose to be the Outlining Facilitator. My main job as the outlining facilitator is to structure the essay based on model argumentative essays. So, first I should show my group the examples of argumentative essays and the generic structure we should include. Also, I did some changes on my friends' works in order to make the essay better and coherent in the correct grammar. I also give contribution in giving opinion about the topic and how we should arrange the essay.
We have fun
on writing the essay, as the topic is related to our current situation, so it
makes me especially, feel interested in the topic. I find it also exciting to
do the teamwork in a far distance but still can communicate well and give
comments to the writings. I think our group have successfully create the essay
because we already follow the rules and structures of argumentative essay and
also we work really hard on writing the essay.
I think the
time is the major problem in our group, because not all of the member could
join at the same time as we are busy with other thing outside the writing
project. So, I think the unsuccessful one is the gathering time of working
together and do the chit chat. What I kind of pity from the app is when you
copy and paste someone's work to make the better arrangement, it will be yours
and your friends' works will be gone. Although, in the other tools we could see
who did the writing at what time but still, for me it is confusing.
Based on my
individual experience, I would like to use the technique for my students'
assignment, because it is not only so simple but the contributions of each students
are also clearly visible. I would ask them to do the work together and I will be present at
the time to see their work. I would not give short period of time because the
work consumes time, maybe a week and so so.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI'm agree with you that using Google Docs is useful, but not really effective. Even though, anybody that has been invited can add something anytime, but it still take a long time to finished it.
