G Suite Advanced Classroom Infusion

This course will build on the foundation course, OEDT 5088 Google Apps in the Clsrm. Educators will learn to use and then integrate Google tools from outside the core suite such as Google Earth, Google Maps, Blogger, Picasa, You Tube, Chrome, and advanced power search strategies into their use of the core suite of Google Apps for Education tools, which includes Google Documents, Gmail, Sites, and Calendar. Educators will develop lessons that integrate multiple tools to increase collaboration, support mastery learning, and student engagement. Educators will also examine the use of Google Apps Tools to collect, display, and analyze formative and summative assessment data.

This course is designed for classroom teachers, administrators, or other educators who have taken the first course in the sequence and are ready to develop lessons around and integrate other Google tools into their teaching. This course will help participants address:
