1. Google 101: Batter Up!

PROJECT DETAILS
This interactive self-paced, self-directed training was designed for district teachers to explore and understand the basics skills of G Suite for Education. Several opportunities to create learning artifacts are embedded in the training as well. Learning badges for completing levels are offered.

TOOLS USED
Google Sites, Google Forms, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Drawings, Screencastify

2. Google Basics: Whaddya Know?

PROJECT DETAILS
Mindful of my multi-generational audience, I designed this training to be both a self-directed pre-assessment and a full-day training. Those participants more comfortable with technology and preferring to be self-directed were encouraged to watch tutorial videos, engage in interactive learning, and complete a series of tasks to demonstrate mastery. (They were then exempt from the full-day training.) Traditional learners completed the same tasks under guidance and within collaborative learning groups.

TOOLS USED
Google Sites, Google Docs, Google Forms, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Drawings, Screencastify

3. Understanding Our Students

PROJECT DETAILS
This training was designed for a district's non-classified staff (non-educators) unfamiliar with using technology in a daily setting. With guidance, participants engaged in self-directed, interactive learning, with backchannels embedded to provide for cohort-based discussions of learning.

TOOLS USED
Google Sites, Mentimeter, Edpuzzle, Backchannel Chat, Quizizz, Padlet, Parlay, Flipgrid

4. Online Book Study: The Google Infused Classroom

PROJECT DETAILS
Professional development is necessary for teacher growth. However, with both limited budgets and time, it's sometimes difficult to get everyone in the same place. The solution? Online book studies that are cohort-based with group discussions, interactives, and task-oriented demonstrations of mastery. (Private training; link unavailable)

6. G Suite Learning Academy
