Ed Tech Presentations- Check These Out!

EdTechChristina PD/Conferences ,

Be sure to check out these links to presentations made by and for teachers on a variety of topics!  They are from two recent Ed Tech Conferences and include some really great ideas here!

STEM & EdTech Symposium (Feb. 24 in Pleasant Hill)

EdTech Camp On Air (March 4, an online, global conference)

 

Some examples:

Personalize Learning:  How to Make a Digital Springboard (Tashman)  *Great for students to keep all of their links in one, easy-to-access place!

Choose Your Own Adventure:  Using Storytelling and Google Slides to Teach Conservation (Maneja)

Using Google Slides for Documentation in the Kindergarten Classroom:  Video,  Slides & Resources (Wolfstadt)

Going from Paper-More to Paper-Less:  Digitizing, Organizing, and Storing Student Work:  Video, Slides & Resources (Alan)

Quick Tip: Google Docs Updates

EdTechChristina Google G Suite ,

Google has been releasing a lot of small updates lately, so keep your eyes open!

Just three sneak peeks of what is coming in the next couple of weeks:

  • In Google Docs, text formatting options will be moved from the Format submenu to a new “Text” submenu.
  • In Google Docs, text color and highlight color will be split into separate controls (buttons) for each one.
  • And…. (here’s a biggie)…. Soon we’ll be able to comment on Word docs, PDFs, and images while in preview mode (without having to convert the Word docs to Google Docs). You might already see this in your personal Google account, and it should be rolling out to EDU accounts soon!
