Is your school or district using the GSuite (formerly Google Apps for Education) platform? Learn from a Google-Certified Educator how to leverage Google Classroom and Google Drive to communicate with students and parents, share assignments, gather assessment data, collaborate on documents, announce important dates, and more – all with your work-provided or personal Google account. Participants can watch and learn, or bring/utilize computers to practice - either way, they will discover several new ways to “Google it” to extend the learning and dialog beyond the traditional gymnasium or classroom walls. As a result of attending this workshop, participants will: 1.) Be able to log into their own free Google/GSuite accounts, and navigate to various Google products (including Classroom, Drive, and Forms). 2.) Be able to set up and invite students to their own online Google Classroom, and post announcements, questions, and assignments through the Classroom interface. 3.) Be able to create and collaborate on a Google Document and Google Form survey/questionnaire, and share with students. 4.) Walk away with new ideas/uses for Google in their day-to-day planning, teaching, and administrative tasks.
