Coming January 14, 2010 The Google Workshop for Educators
Search, learn, share! Brought to you by the producers of the Google Teacher Academy, a Google Workshop for Educators (GWE) introduces participants to innovative ways Google tools can be used in education. A full day of fast-paced presentations and hands-on activities includes experience with advanced search techniques, collaborative web-based applications, and inspirational instructional strategies. Google Certified Teachers share ways they've implemented tools such as Google Docs, Google Earth, Google Sites, and... even more. Participants who complete the event are given access to the Google Workshops for Educators Network (GWEN), an online community focused on supporting educators as they learn more about the power of Google to drive student learning.
Please visit the GWE course description page for time, location, cost and a link to register. Seating is limited. The Center now offers online professional development. These webinars are held after the school day is over. Please check out our offerings as we are always adding new ones. Visit our Spotlight on Distance Learning |
