What does it mean to be a Google school?
We start from the basics and take a high level look at what it means to be a Google school
We explain how Google Apps for Education works, what Apps are included in the ‘core suite’ and what other ‘non core’ Google Apps you can use
We cover a lot of basic stuff to be sure all attendees are starting from the same level such as: Do you need a Google Server? Can you use Google in your school if you are running on a MS base? Do all students need an account on your domain? Can one teacher run Google Classroom if we are not a Google School? etc. etc.
How can Google help me and our leadership team in our jobs?
This is where we get into Forms, shared Docs, research, etc. We focus in on the best practices for using Google Drive and Docs specifically for school management with specific examples of using forms, spreadsheets and more
We also look at using Google tools for:
Leadership teams
Accreditation (for example by CIS WASC and NEASC which is something schools go through every 5 and 10 years and with Google Apps this process has become much more efficient and effective)
Work flows, meeting minutes
How Can I Get My Staff (Teachers and IT) to Move Ahead?

Video projects help students plan, organise, collaborate, communicate, analyze. The creation process becomes even more meaningful when students can collaborate in real time. The GAFE platform allows this. Using WeVideo, Screencasting Chrome Apps and Google Draw, students can easily create videos. WeVideo is an intuitive cloud-based video editor. Screencasting apps can be used to screencast your desktop or record voice layovers. Using Google Drawings, you can create simple diagrams to be included in your videos.All of these products are seamlessly connected to Google Drive. The session is hands-on - we will go through some case studies, showcasing how videos can be used in the classroom and we will also create our own video during the session. Advanced/Intermediate
