There are so many tools we can use to tell stories and share information online. Timelines are wonderful storytelling tools to implement when the story you want to tell is sequential or time-based. In this hands-on workshop we will create an interactive timeline using google forms and sheets.

Getting Started in Google Sites

Limited Capacity seats available

Presentation Link

This session will cover what Google Sites can offer you as an educator. We'll talk about what's possible and look at some excellent examples of district, school, grade-level, classroom and portfolio sites. We'll get familar with how sharing works and talk about what we're able to do in our GAFE domains. If time allows, we will briefly touch on adding users, differentiating page permissions, determing site openness, and commenting. This will not be a hands-on session, so come prepared to share your thoughts and listen more than click and type.

Attendees interested in a full site-building marathon should definitely also attend Thursday's 3-hour session "Design Your Course Site" led by Jennifer Moss and Sean Holland.

This event will be streamed live on Google Hangouts on Air!

Share it out

Limited Capacity seats available

How can you find examples of what others are doing when you aren't sharing what you're doing! Knowing the means by which Google allows you to share, collaborate, and broadcast to your students and colleagues is a powerful asset. Knowing how to share is essential in helping your students become 21st Century learners!

Embed Everything

Limited Capacity seats available

Presentation Link

Considerations and motivations for "embedding".

Before covering the means, we'll discuss some of the benefits of embedding content generated or residing on one service into another service container. How does it affect your user? The student? Your content? Does it promote collaboration, discussion and maintenance?

After developing an understanding of best practices, we'll cover the "How To". This will be more of a "how to fish" session, rather than "here have some fish I caught for you" type of presentation.

Expect part of the session to be hands on, editing your own material. It will be helpful if participants bring examples of content they wish to embed to augment the in-class examples provided.
