If you have a little time this summer, you may wish to consider some professional development opportunities for new ideas about integrating technology into your curriculum. Here are a few options to check out:
The Santa Clara County Office of Education offers a variety of short (mostly free) sessions on different topics. Some upcoming ones include a tour of Google Classroom, intro to Google Apps and getting the most out of Google Drive, and creating infographics in the classroom. See June's offerings here.
On June 6th, The Harker School and SVCUE hosts the annual Teacher Institute ($20) with a variety of sessions for a variety of levels of comfort with technology. Some of the topics covered this year include more on Google Apps; math games and math modeling; design thinking in the classroom; reinventing summer reading; research skills mini-lessons; teaching with Minecraft and more. Registration is here.
There's also GoogleDriveCore, a two-day workshop covering sharing, use of forms, research, tables, comments, add-ons (like Flubaroo, Flippity and Kaizena), spreadsheet basics and organizing tips and tricks with Google Drive folders and portfolios for students. This is primarily geared for independent schools and is pricey, but Google Apps for Education works the same for public and private schools.
Do some exploring and see if any of these work for you!
