Welcome to the Google Workshop for Educators



GWE NWISD - Welcome



Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

The Activity:

Turn to the person next to you & share:

one non-tech tool...that you can't teach without.


The Rules
  • Pair up with one of your teammates, introduce yourself,and then share your example.
  • When one partner is sharing, the other can ask a question, but shouldn't "take over" the conversation. 1 minute to share.
  • Rotate until you have shared with every other person on your team.Or until we run out of time...

Today's Driving Questions

1. What free and educationally beneficial services are available from Google?
