GSuite for Education offers a variety of apps and extension to help create an innovative learning space with tools for students to express their learning in a variety of ways. Nearpod and Buncee will be the featured interactive tool with Screencastify, Powtoons, Desmos, Book Creator, Lego and many more.
We will highlight our favorites and put a wealth of others EdTech resources and tutorials on a website and hyperdoc along with resources to copy and edit. We will model the design process and share best practices and pedagogy when choosing tools through TPAK and the Universal Design for Learning. Learning objectives should be chosen before the technology tool to ensure the appropriate methodology. Resources will include assessment data, formative assessment methodology, and appropriate data analysis to ensure learning. Examples will be shown for proof of successful learning.
Introduction (10 to 15 minutes)
We plan to introduce the Googley Learning Experience using Powtoons, Nearpod, and Buncee to captivate the teachers and administrators for their professional learning. Nearpod and Buncee will permit audience interaction to capture ideas, questions, and thoughts.
Research and pedagogy of deciding assessment, learning goals, and then appropriate technology will be discussed.
Interactivity (Remainder of the session)
A hyperdoc on everythingedtech.com will be provided with tutorials.
Groups will be formed based on a common app or extension members wish to learn and discover the ways it can be utilized in the classroom. This will promote conversation and interaction. Learning goals will be discussed and then participants choose the resource and tutorial for the app or extension to create a lesson plan.
The audience will be provided with video tutorials using Google Apps, Extensions, and web tools that promote discussion, discovery, and ways to express themselves (both for students and faculty). Example lessons will be provided that have proven successful through student data and evaluation.
The presenters will model and facilitate the discovery process using their selected tools and develop a lesson, presentation, video, or artifact to used with the appropriate methodology in their classroom, schools, or training.
Takeaways
Any projects completed within the session will be curated on Buncee Board and embedded into a website. Each participant will receive a Nearpod Takeaway that they can edit for notes and it includes all presentation materials and links. They will also receive a Nearpod 90 Gold Pro Trail code.
We will tweet the Buncee Board for comments and voting from the ISTE PLN to vote for their favorite project. The winner will receive a gift card for their use in the Google Chrome Store Store.
