Students, teachers, and coaches will learn effective, efficient, and reimagined ways of creating organizational tools that are rewarding and interesting to them while still being robust in the data that they provide. By helping learn skills that help all parties take ownership of not just their learning but the tracking of their learning, the data generated can be more meaningful, engagement is increased, and self-reliance becomes more achievable. While the presentation will focus on Google Tools, these skills and considerations can be transposed across many platforms with fidelity. Participants will be able to create their meaningful organization products, such as robust portfolios, as one example.
