Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Participants will explore new ways to use a common presentation tool. Therefore, instead of doing more or learning more tools; they simply could do differently with an already known tool. These ideas truly showcase student learning in an engaging creative manner. Having the knowledge of the common tool (PowerPoint or Google Slides) allows teachers to grow their integration practices versus just acquiring a new tool at a usage level.

During the opening, attendees will have an opportunity to solidify their basic knowledge of the tool (Google Slides).

Closing:
E
Collaborative Share-Out of Ideas, Ah-Ha Moments, or Questions
Using the Q & A tool within Google Slides will be used to gather questions
Teachers will be encouraged to do their own BookFlix or HistoryFlix
It will be done Collaboratively in Google Edit Mode of Slides

Supporting research

I believe that using tech tools you know and know well, allow teachers to truly focus on the learning & skills versus having to figure out a new tool. Having a well-rounded few tools that allow students and teachers to get to a deeper level of learning outweighs a plethora of tools that learners only know at a surface level. Their creations will only be at that level as well then!
