Description

Search, learn, share! Brought to you by Computer Using Educators (CUE), the producers of the Google Teacher Academy, a Google Workshop for Educators (GWE) introduces participants to innovative ways Google tools can be used in education. A full day of fast-paced presentations and hands-on activities includes experience with advanced search techniques, collaborative web-based applications, and inspirational instructional strategies. Google Certified Teachers share ways they've implemented tools such as Google Docs, Google Maps, Google Sites, and... even more. Participants who complete the event are given access to the Google Workshops for Educators Network (GWEN), an online community focused on supporting educators as they learn more about the power of Google to drive student learning.

The session will be intended for an audience of teachers, administrators, and technical support personnel with intermediate to advanced technology skills. The content will focus on the use of free Google tools in education. Specifically, Day 1 content will focus on Google Search, Google Docs, Google Maps, Google Sites, and Google Groups. Day 2 content will include additional advanced and specialized search tools, Google Calendar, Google Reader, and Google Apps. Time permitting, additional Google tools will also be covered.
