With just a few great tools, teachers can easily provide students with a broader, more vivid learning experience. This workshop will begin with an introduction to Google Chrome, featuring specific Chrome Extensions geared to helping teachers become more efficient in their daily tasks.
The morning will be devoted to exploring filters for Google and YouTube searches, and learning how to build custom Google search engines.
In the afternoon you will hear from teachers and students who are using concrete applications of Google Apps for Education in their classrooms.
The end of the day will be reserved for experimentation with your newly acquired knowledge of Google Apps, so be sure to come with a laptop* and a few curriculum ideas you'd like to enhance!
