General Audience The audience for this assessment is certified kindergarten and first grade teachers. All participants vary in age and levels of education achieved. The years of experience within the grades range from 0 40 years. All members of the audience have Google experience to some degree since they all have a Gmail account within our system. Beyond that, the technological experience varies greatly. Problem Identification Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) is a file management and storage service that is available 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week via Google Cloud. Within the Google Drive are various apps that include: a word processor (also known as Docs), spreadsheet (Sheets), presentations (Slides), drawing and forms. Over the past three years, Jefferson County School System has been integrating Google Drive as its electronic platform. Although this change has occurred gradually, little training in its use has taken place. Some teachers have taken it on themselves to delve into the training needed to successfully implement and use Google Drive, while others seem to just be using the basics in the e-mail platform. Google Drive will allow teachers to share documents such as lesson plans, newsletters, spreadsheets, presentations and engage in parent communication. It will also allow teachers to collaborate and make changes to documentation in a much more efficient manner. Google Drive would allow all documentation to be stored in one area and cut down on the amount of paper that teachers find stacked on their desks. Instructional Goals Users will be able to log in to Google Drive and access their account. Users will be able to create a document in Google Drive and share it with peer collaborators. Users will be able to collaborate electronically and show proof of this in their documentation.

Part II: Learner Analysis Introduction The targeted group of learners in this study are certified staff members at Wrens Elementary School. The group is all female. Of this group, 38% is Caucasian and 62% is African American. The experience level of the learners is an average of 20 years in the teaching profession. Teachers of kindergarten and first grade are represented along with teachers of augmented classes such as computer lab instruction. In order to collect information of this targeted group, I gathered data using our School Improvement Plan report. I also conducted interviews and sent out surveys so I could gather the information necessary for the learner analysis. Entry Skills Learners are able to log on to the schools computers. Learners are able to use basic Internet search engines. Learner should be able to create, upload, and save documents to the computer. Prior Knowledge Each learner has knowledge of the schools email system and how it works within our system. Learners are able to create lesson plans using a Word Document. Learners are be able to create a newsletter for their grade. Learners are able to take a screen shot and paste into a document. Attitude toward Content & Academic Motivation There are many different attitudes toward the content of this design. All believe that it is beneficial in the end, but they have differing views in how it should be obtained. The motivation to learn the new skill is less than enthusiastic because of the amount of time involved in completing the task. Educational Ability Levels From the county website, I was able to gather data on the learners in this class. Of the 13 learners that will participate, 4 of them have less than 3 years of teaching experience. Whereas, 3 of the learners have more than 40 years of experience in the classroom. Twenty-three percent West Key Assessment
hold a masters degree or higher. This creates a very diverse group of learners with each bringing lots of different experiences to the class setting. Technologically speaking, there is much dissimilarity. The older learners within the group are less versed in the latest technology. Therefore, they have a different perspective than those learners fresh out of college. General Learning Preferences The learners, as I have observed, prefer activities that can be used immediately in their own classroom settings. They prefer hands-on experiences that are teacher directed. This is also determined by the age of the learner. The much younger learners prefer a do-it-yourself approach, whereas the seasoned learners like directed teacher instruction. Attitude toward Teachers and School Most of the learners are receptive of the work of the teacher and the design being implemented. With 3 of the learners having over 40 years in the teaching profession it shows their dedication to school and the belief in the power of education. Newer teachers have an upbeat and cheerful attitude toward school because it is new and exciting. All of the learners are supportive of the teacher and desire to do their best in any class they participate. Group Characteristics The overall group of learners will be broken into down into three separate groups. They will be grouped according to the subjects/grades that they currently teach. This will enable the group to share relevant information in the design that is being implemented. The learners range in age from 22 to age 64. Group 1 will consist of 5 learners. These learners will range in age from 26-54. They presently teach kindergarten. The experience of the kindergarten teacher ranges from 28 years down to 0 years. Group 2 will consist of 5 learners as well. These learners range in age from 24-46 years of age. This group presently teaches first grade. The experience for this group as first grade teachers ranges from 0-2 years. The overall teaching experience of the group is an average of 5 years. Group 3 will consist of 3 learners and will probably be the most challenging. The average teaching experience of this group is 40 years. Each learner is 64 + years old. This group will teach augmented classes, as well as pull out classes. They normally do not have to construct West Key Assessment
newsletters as the other two groups, but they do have to have daily lesson plans. All of these learners still handwrite their lesson plans and do not use the computer on a daily basis. One of the teachers has been moved to run the computer lab, so that will be helpful in her instruction.

Part III: Task Analysis I will use a combination of both topic and procedural analysis. For the topic analysis, I begin by defining what Google Drive is and how it can benefit the learner in the teaching process. In order to avoid negative attitudes from learners, I will list the advantages of using Google Drive as opposed to the traditional word processing systems. I want buy-in from all the learners so I will point out the benefits including collaboration with other teachers and a file management system. Most of the learning in this design will be procedural so it is imperative that I create a detailed outline of the steps needed to perform the expected outcome. My subject matter expert (SME) helped me go through the steps necessary in order to complete the task that I want the learners to grasp. The content structures identified for this task analysis included facts (what is Google Drive), concepts (Google Drives overarching cloud) and principles (Google Drives documents and the ability that the user has to create, edit and share them with others). Task Analysis 1.0 To define Google Drive 1.1 Google Drive is a free, cloud-based system. 1.1.1. Enables users to create online documents and edit them collaboratively 1.1.2.

Part VIII: Formative Evaluation Plan
Overview The formative evaluation plan will entail collecting expert and learner evaluations of the online module through checklists, rating scales and short answer questions via the use of Google Forms. The SME, who is a Google Certified Instructor, will meet with the designer throughout the planning period and will complete a review after the instruction has been created but before the one-on-one evaluations. Once that has been completed, three teachers who are interested in learning more about Google Drive and Google documents, will be asked to participate in a one- on-one session. Then, the designer will ask three different teachers, based on their technology experience and years of experience, to participate. They all will be asked to rate the content, usability, quality and validity of the design. Finally, a field test will be conducted after the design of the instruction is complete and after the one-on-one evaluations are done. All of this will be conducted through online modules and using Google Drive.
SME Survey The SME will be given the following questions to answer after reviewing the instructional design project. 1. Are the learning goals clear? 2. Is the content accurate and sequential? 3. Does the instructor provide enough information and is it easily readable? 4. Is the information chunked in a way which allows learners to practice skills between tutorials without confusion? 5. Has vocabulary been explained well enough to cover learning gaps? 6. Is the instruction appropriate for an online module? 7. Can the content be learned without an instructor?
After this feedback is given, the results will determine if any further interviews with the SME are necessary to clarify any information before the one-on-one evaluations are given. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/BVgOsO
West Key Assessment
One-on-One Evaluation
These evaluations will be held in the Media Center Computer Lab where the designer will introduce the lesson and be available to assess any area of the instruction that is confusing or answer questions. The designer will record any questions asked to help clarify the instruction. The evaluators will fill out a Google Forms survey after the instruction and participate in an interview with the designer. These are the questions that will be asked: 1. At any time during the instruction were you confused? If so, when and why? 2. Did you feel like the instruction was sequential and easy to follow or difficult to follow? 3. Were the videos appropriately placed so you had enough time to practice the skills presented? 4. Do you feel like you could learn this content without the presence of an instructor?
