Everything You Wanted to Know about Google Apps for you and your students
June 27-28, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
This workshop will focus on incorporating Google Apps into your classroom as a tool for collaborative work. Google Apps can revolutionize the classroom with its ability to facilitate collaborative learning and student engagement. Participants will have hands-on experience with Google Docs (documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms), Google Sites, and Google Calendar; more important, they will return to their classrooms with a wealth of sound pedagogical strategies for integrating Google Apps into their curriculum. We will focus on the collaborative tools: sharing settings, viewing settings, revision history, collections, inserting comments, back channel chatting and simultaneous data entry. More experienced users will learn spreadsheet skills useful for data analysis and strategies for using Google Sites as the perfect tool for creating a webquest. Pedagogical and practical strategies for implementing Google Apps in the collaborative classroom will be the major theme. The topics covered are relevant for teachers of all grade levels and all subjects.
