Part I: Identification of Learning Problem

General Audience
The primary audience is comprised of both male and female certified educators, of all ages and
experience levels. The primary audience teaches students in grades 6-8 (ages of the students
vary from 10-14). Educators in the audience come from different backgrounds before entering
the education world and teach a variety of subjects daily. All educators within the Hall County
School District with direct instruction to students will receive training.

Problem Identification
The HCSD (Hall County School District) has implemented a new tool for all faculty and students
beginning the 2013-2014 school year. Faculty and students now have access to Google Drive,
including Google Apps and Google Docs.
Google Drive allows educators to save documents in a cloud-based system enabling access from
multiple locations. With this new tool faculty can collaborate on lessons with each other and
collaborate with students on assignments completely online. Google Drive can be accessed at
school and at home.
As this new tool is being introduced to faculty and students, it is important for faculty to be
trained on why and how it is a useful tool along with how to manage files using Google Drive.
Educators may not be open to a change in the procedures they have previously been accustomed
to using. Educators have been instructing students to e-mail assignments to them. Google Drive
training will allow educators to see how easy and useful using this tool can be for them along
with their students when collaborating on projects that are saved or in real time.

Instructional Goals
Users will be able to successfully log into Google Drive.
Users will be able to navigate through Google Drive to access Apps and Documents
Users will be able to create Google Docs or upload documents to share

Part II: Learner Analysis

Introduction:
The targeted groups of learners are 6th-8th grade teachers at Da Vinci Academy in Gainesville,
Georgia. There are 13 female teachers and 4 male teachers within this school. The group is
comprised of 15 Caucasians, 1 Hispanic, and 1 Asian. Educators in this group come from
different backgrounds including the military and engineering before entering the education world
and they teach a variety of subjects daily. The age ranges of educators at this school are from the
early 30s to 50s. Educators have been at the school for 2 or more years. A small group of these
educators founded and started this school. Information regarding the educators was determined
after educator interviews and observations.

Entry Skills and Prior Knowledge:

Able to log on a computer

Use basic internet search engines
Create and/or save documents/presentations
Knowledge of access to sites

Educators have no prior knowledge of Google Drive as this is the first year it has been
implemented in the district. This information was obtained by observations of the learners.

Attitudes toward Content and Academic Motivation:

When asked about their comfort levels with technology, the group was split at 50/50. Half of the
educators feel comfortable and knowledgeable using technology within their classroom. The
other half of the group feels that they have minimal knowledge and understanding when using
technology in the classroom. All educators are motivated to learn new programs that allow them
to work hand in hand with the students within their classes. These results were gathered through
observation, educator survey, and discussions.

Educational Ability Levels:

Based on observations of this group the teachers are highly qualified learners. Teachers within
this group teach Advanced Placement students and have a willingness to learn more themselves.
Teachers have advanced degrees ranging from Bachelors to Educational Specialists.

General Learning Preferences:

The teachers seem to have a preference for hands on learning and activities. The teachers enjoy
collaborating together on lessons. They also prefer interactive activities that involve technology.

Attitude toward Teachers and School:

Teachers have a deep respect for one another and the school. This group works closely and very
well together. They love this school as they have made the school what is it today. The teachers
enjoy coming to work every day.

Group Characteristics:
The school is located in a rural area of South Hall County. This community is growing rapidly,
although there are only approximately 200 students in grades 6-8 at this school. This school is a
Program of Choice school. Teachers at this school are very much open to learning new things
and growing in their ability to teach and reach their students.

Part III: Task Analysis

I chose to use a procedural task analysis to introduce the procedures of how to use Google Drive
for staff members. I worked with a Media Specialist as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) and
went through the steps of the task for the procedural task analysis. In the procedural analysis the
tasks are outlined in the steps that users will follow to properly log on to the site and then how
they will be able to move around the site depending on what they would like to learn. Within
this task analysis I included topic analysis that gives information and facts about Google Drive.
The Subject Matter Expert (SME) is the school Media Specialist that was trained by the e-

learning specialists for the HCSD on Google Drive. All media personnel were required to attend
training in order to become Subject Matter Experts within the schools.
What is Google Drive?
Google drive is a cloud based system that enables access from multiple locations. Google Drive
is the International standard for viewing, sharing and collaborating in real time while creating a
document, spreadsheet or any apps available in Google Drive.
How do you access your Google Account?
1. Go to the Connect icon on your desktop or type in connect.hallco.org
2. Enter in your Hall County username (student number) and password. Ex. Rebecca.west
(Do not include @hallco.org)
3. Once you have logged in then you will be at the Connect platform. Click on HallConnect.
4. Once inside HallConnect, you will see the Google Drive icon
From home or when you cant get to HallConnect
a. Go to www.google.com and click on drive on the black bar at the top of the page.
Login there with hallco.org credentials (name or student number @hallco.org), but
Google will redirect you to connect.hallco.org to sign in there.

5. Students and teachers have 30 GB of storage for all external file types (Word, Excel, PPT,
PDF, etc.), but you will have unlimited storage for Google file types (Docs, Presentation,
Spreadsheet, etc.) This is topic analysis.
6. Click on the Create button to Create Documents, Presentations, Spreadsheets, etc. Name
untitled documents. All work is automatically saved.
7. You can share documents and other work with others for them to view or to collaborate in
real time.
8. To share a document, click on the Share button.
9. You can copy the link to share with others to view or you can invite people by adding
their email addresses. This will give them permission to make changes to your document.

Sharing Documents with Students

1. Teachers create a document in Drive.
2. After you have finished the document click share.
3. When you invite people/ share - type in your students name or student number.
4. Change the box that says can edit to can view- this is to insure that students dont edit
your original document.
5. When students go into their shared documents they will see what you have shared.
6. When they go into the document, they will need to go to FILE and then MAKE A COPY.

7. Students will rename the copy and then it will be saved in their drive.
8. The copy will be in their drive and from there they can begin editing.
9. After they have edited their copy they will need to share it again with the teacher
10. Making a copy detaches from the original and becomes a new document.
Students Sharing Documents with the Teacher
1. Students will create a document.
2. When students are ready to share they will click on SHARE. (I suggest that students
share with the teacher from the beginning, so that teachers have the option to monitor the
work while its being produced)
3. When students share, they will need to type in the teachers email.
4. After they have typed it in, the teacher can choose if the students should send an email or
if unchecked it will just be sent to the teachers shared with me folder
5. Teachers will receive an email from the student or they can look at the documents in their
own Drive under the Shared with me tab
How to View Students Revision History and Collaboration
1. Go into the students document
2. Click on All Changes Saved in Drive or Last Edit that is in the top middle of the
screen.
3. After clicking on this the revision history will show up on the right side.
4. Click on show more detailed revision.
5. From there you should be able to see everyones input.
6. If you click on one of the revisions, each persons work shows up in the color that is
listed and what was completed in the document at that time.
7. You can also look through each revision to see what students have done within the
document to monitor progress and productivity.
8. This is a great way to see what each student has added to a group project.

Part VIII: Formative Evaluation Plan

I would use a survey to collect learner feedback of the online module. The survey would be done
completely online through a survey website. The survey would be used to ask learners how user
friendly the online module was in teaching the task and helping them to complete tasks. It would
also ask for suggestions of changes in the program or any changes they would make. I would
ask a SME that has been through the County training to review the online module and provide
feedback through the survey also.

Once the survey results have been returned I would go through each survey to see what the
consensus is for each item asked. For any item(s) where the majority thought there should be a
change I would evaluate that part of the module for changes that can be made that would provide
better results in the outcome. I would also look at all suggestions that are made to evaluate any
changes that should be made in the learning module.
