All things Google – lesson 40
This techie brekkie is a follow up to a session I took at the recent ASLA11 conference I went to. On that day I took an excellent course called ‘The Googlification of Everything’ with Chris Betcher.
Since we will be using Google extensively within our school next year, including Google apps for education. This session was designed to refresh our teachers’ knowledge on all things Google. Further resources and reading can be found at Googlefest – lesson 19 and Googlefest part two – lesson 20, which were lessons about using Google which we held last year.
We firstly went to Chris’s newest website Googlificationofeverything
Or using Google’s URL shortener
While looking at his site we also spent time on the following:
Working on a collaborative Google document together
Conducting Google searches using advanced features
Conducting image searches considering size, colour and attribution
We checked out Google shopping and Google blog
This was a good reminder of all the ways Google can help us in the classroom and school.
