Efficient Ways to Collaborate with Students
Have students begin to use Google Classroom to complete
assignments and turn them in. The teacher can then provide feedback on the
assignment and return it to the student. Google Classroom is a new tool that
allows you to shift to a digital assignment workflow. This is a voluntary
course.

An Easy and Simple Way to Gather Data
Learn how easy it is to use Google Forms to create simple
surveys that you can use with the school staff and community and assessments
that you can use with students. We’ll also look at using a Google add-on to
quickly and easily grade assessments that you create. This is a voluntary
training.

Learning CAFÉ
The Learning CAFÉ is an informal drop-in time to meet up
with other PPS teachers to get questions answered, create lessons infusing
digital resources, seek assistance with technology integration strategies,
learn about a new tool, work collaboratively or share ideas. Bring your device
and come for as little as 15 minutes or stay the entire time. You may also join
via Google Hangout. It’s personalized professional learning!
