How do we position ourselves as teachers and learners in online space using digital tools? This workshop consists of a series of hands-on activities with a focus on online pedagogy and supporting tools. Participants will gain experiences for growth towards competencies essential to using GSuite tools to improve learning, engagement, and productivity.

In this workshop, participants will have an opportunity to set goals for their learning, using GSuite apps as supporting tools. They will explore features of many apps from the teacher and learner perspective, learning to "package" remote or hybrid learning, and make instructional choices that provide equitable experiences.

This workshop is best suited for upper elementary, middle school, high school and adult educators who have some experience with G Suite/Google Classroom and want to learn ways to leverage the application of the tools for optimal learning environments. Please bring along your own device.
