Random Notes on Ohio Goes Google Key Note

Education & Technology & Life

In no particular order…but random notes and asides from the Key Note.

Google Form Asides

Google Forms now uses images. Huge implications for testing.

Use Google form for Mood Check Ins. Social emotional exit tickets. I love this idea. Building the trust online to feel more comfortable with face to face conversations.

YouTube Asides

Check out solid YouTube channels. youtube.com/mathademics.

Technology is about increasing instruction to student ratios.

Google Hangout

Using a hangout with other schools to talk with different sets of students. There are all kinds of implications for staff development and meetings as well.

Main point – rethink how using Google Apps in the structure of the day (student, staff, and admin).
