Title: Creating a mobile classroom workflow
Course: Workflow - Part II (Classroom) > Section: Application and Discussion

Application: Please choose one of the following activities to complete.  You will need to submit your resource and reflection to the Application Discussion Forum.  For resources created in Google Drive, Sites or Moodle please submit the link.

Option 1:  Diagraming a classroom workflow

Chart out a mobile workflow for your classroom.   This article provides a great visual of the components of a mobile workflow.  Create a visual of your workflow either in a Google Docs or Lucid Chart.  Think about answering the following questions in your workflow design.  What work/resources need to be a part of this workflow?  Who are they going to?  Who do you need to recieve information/resources from? Once you are done create a document and complete this reflection:

1. What did you learn from this?  (About your work habits?  About various tools available to you?)
2. What are your next steps in order to implement this workflow?
3. What are your suggestions for others embarking on creating a mobile workflow?
4. Please submit your resource either as an attached document in this lesson or include the link.  When including links please set sharing permissions in a way that all participants can see your creation.

Option 2: Creating a classroom workflow

Choose one class or course to create a mobile workflow for.  In your mobile workflow please include the following:

- Create a class/course handout folder.  Include relevant materials for the unit you are currently teaching.
- Guide your students through the process of creating turn-in folders.
- Use your system - have your students access at least one resource from the folder and/or have them submit at least one assignment to their turn-in folder.

Once you are done please complete this reflection:

1. What did you learn from this?
2. How did it go? (Did you encounter any difficulties?  What did you learn that surprised you?)
3. What are your suggestions for others embarking on creating a classroom workflow?
4. What are your next steps?
5. Please include the link to your handout folder and any relevant assignments.  When including links please set sharing permissions in a way that all participants can see your creation.

Option 3: Create a course in a LMS

If you do not have a Moodle account already please create one.  Go to St. Vrain Blogs  and use your universal district logon to access your account.  Begin to build either an online course or an extension of your classroom course.  As you do so please consider the following:

- Start on paper.  Chart out the content of your site.
- Will this site act as an extension of your classroom or as an online course?
- What components do you want to include?  (Curriculuar resources?  Annoucements?  Discussions?  etc.)
- How do you want it organized? (By unit, topic, weekly etc.)
- Begin to build content and upload, add or create resources.

Once you are done please complete this reflection:

1. How will you use this with your students?
2. Why did you decided to use a LMS as opposed to Google Drive?
3. What did you learn from this?
4. How did it go? (Did you encounter any difficulties?  What did you learn that surprised you?)
5. What suggestions do you have for others embarking on the same task?
6. If you have used it with you students what was their reaction? (Impressions, stumbling blocks, surprises?)
7. Please include the link to your Moodle Site.  When including links please set sharing permissions in a way that all participants can see your creation.

Option 4:  Embedding your Google Drive workflow structure into your current Google Site

If you already have a classroom Google Site create a classroom workflow (described in Option 2) and then embed that folder structure into your Site.  You will need to set your sharing permissions for this folder to "public on the web."  Be sure you have students access course materials from the embedded folder structure on your site.

Once you are done, please complete the following reflection:

1. What did you learn from this?
2. How did it go? (Did you encounter any difficulties?  What did you learn that surprised you?)
3. What are your suggestions for others trying to connect their sites and a mobile workflow?
4. How did students respond to accessing class resources in this manner?
5. Please submit the link to your site.  When including links please set sharing permissions in a way that all participants can see your creation.

Option 5: Mobile Workflow Assignment

Create an assignment that has students practice one of the aspects of mobile workflow and then complete the reflection.

Aspects of a classroom mobile workflow:

- Create an assignment and have students submit it electronically.
- Have students collaborate with a peer on an assignment using Google Drive.
- Create a class handout folder and have students access unit material.

Once you are done, please complete the following reflection:

1. Which aspect did you choose and why?
2. What did you learn from this?
3. What were the students' reactions to working in this manner?
4. How did it go? (Did you encounter any difficulties?  What did you learn that surprised you?  Will you do this again?)
5. Please submit either a link to your handout folder or a link(s) to student work.  When including links please set sharing permissions in a way that all participants can see your creation.
