Today I started doing actual lessons with Drive and I think it worked out well. The students were commenting that this was so much better than writing. Some had some difficultly, but I think opening up the backchannel and allowing for conversations to go on, even if they were slightly off topic added to the thrill and seemingly scandalousness of the situation. They felt like they were getting away with something even though they were doing what I told them to do.
The assignment itself was simple enough and really just switched out a laptop for pen and paper to comment and create questions about a series of pictures as an introduction to the Middle East unit we are starting. I would say overall success.
