Class Overview
Course Code: T&L 2900, Integrating G Suite in Learning
This "Part 2" blended course is designed for the beginner/intermediate technology user who has been introduced to the power of Google apps but desires more guided practice with a goal of higher proficiency. It promotes independence as it accelerates learners beyond the basics of G-Suite apps such as Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Sites, Slides, and Forms while enhancing creativity, collaboration, and communication through the SAMR model. Participants will delve into personalized learning experiences to gain confidence as they integrate G-Suite into the daily practices of their professional roles with colleagues, students, and school community.
