Tools-Tips-and-Tricks for Google-using Educators

What’s your learning objective? There’s definitely a tool to use, a technique to employ, and a fellow teacher who is ready to help you! Welcome to GEG-GG! Our group of highly energetic, engaging educators use Google-based tools to improve as professionals while accomplishing classroom goals. Most importantly, we discuss ways to make the learner have a more memorable, fun, authentic, and rigorous learning experience. Over the course of two days, participants will go through the same sessions that are normally done to become a qualified GCE - Google Certified Educator. We will share experiences and encourage real-time interaction. Participation in these sessions can help prepare you for Level 1 certification.
