Chatting with Google Docs at the lesson.

To use it at the lesson your students will need computers, access to the Internet, an account in google and a shared access to the document.
The idea is that students exchange their ideas, give comments on the abstract of text that the teacher reads to them.
So, it looks like that: the teacher reads some chapter from a story, students listen, then after the teacher has finished reading, they write and send their comments on what they have heard. The interesting thing in this is that everyone sees what the rest of the class think as google docs has such a function as sharing the document with others and edit it simultaneously.
Then the teacher reads, students listen and again write what they think. My students were writing the comment 3 times, that's quite enough.
The curious thing about it is that every next comment they write is longer and contains deeper thoughts.
"But what if I have no access to computers or Internet at the lesson?" There is a way out:-) I used usual pieces of paper for every comment. At my lesson reading their comments was the most interesting part of the lesson for the students. There was such silence at the lesson, everyone listened. And that was great fun too. So, we trained listening and writing.
