21st Century Learning

I'm new to the google suite platform and am loving Google docs.  I'm super excited about using this in the classroom.  I want the students to be empowered to learn through collaboration by being able to create a document or a presentation at the same time from multiple locations.  I think it would be great to partner with a similar class across the state or the U.S. to enhance the learning process.  For example, if my students are researching the battle at Gettysburg, I would have them share their research in google docs with other students in a different location.  I would then take the students on a virtual tour of the actual battle field and perhaps we would be fortunate enough to use Skype to have an expert answer any of the questions that the students may have.  All of this can then be turned into a presentation using Google Slides.  The research, and slides can then be shared with the rest of the class, so that everyone may have access to this research.  Connecting students to each other inside or outside the classroom, would be an amazing opportunity to further solidify the concept that technology is removing the barriers that existed before because of space and time limitations.
