Our technology integration workshops are designed to help teachers discover how to transform their classroom into a student-centered environment that is easily differentiated for all learners. Workshops are designed specifically for teachers with various levels of experience at integrating technology from beginners to advance.
In this training, we will develop a foundational understanding on how to implement the Google Suite of Apps for Education into the classroom to facilitate student engagement. The applications we will explore include Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Drive, and a variety of other tools and add-ons within the Google suite.
During this training, you will not only become knowledgeable on how to use the Google suite, but you will discover how various applications in the Google suite can become integrated into your teacher toolkit to enhance student engagement. Throughout the training, we will demonstrate the game-changing collaboration abilities baked into each application to give you the experience, strategies, and confidence to continue exploring the advantages of integrating technology into your own classroom. Collectively, we will create a variety of documents you will be able to take back to your classroom to get your students working together, creating, and presenting.
