COURSE OVERVIEW
Is your school a Google-centric environment? Do you use many of the apps in Google Workspace for Education? Do you wish you knew how to use Google apps to improve teaching and learning? This online course is designed to help teachers learn the basics of the most critical Google apps as well as how to integrate them into your classroom and curriculum. The course begins with an overview of the most popular Google apps as well as an introduction to technology configurations and integration. Then, we jump into an in-depth look at how to use the following apps within the context of the curriculum starting with the apps that help most with productivity including Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Calendar. Then, the course moves to apps that can help students be more efficient including Search and Translate. Teachers will be introduced to apps that can be used in a wide variety of contexts in the classroom from teaching to simply making a teacher’s life easier. These apps include Forms, Slides, Sheets, Keep, and Photos. The basics of two robust Google apps, Earth and Maps will be shared. Teachers will also learn how to effectively use Google Classroom and Sites to make their curriculum more accessible to students. The final step is putting it all together by integrating and using several Google apps into a single lesson. By the end of this course, teachers will be proficient in both using and integrating all the most popular Google apps.
