Trapped at the Google Summit

Come participate in a digital escape room!
Digital escape rooms provide students with a story-based activity that allows them to interact with content in a different way. Students progress through the story at their own pace solving puzzles along the way to escape at the end. Escape rooms can be used to introduce a topic, to practice a skill, to re-teach material, or as a review activity. In this pre-conference event, YOU will participate first hand in a virtual escape room either individually or with a group and learn strategies for incorporating digital escape rooms in your classroom. This is a no contact escape room. All you will need is a device and a phone. Come join others in solving puzzles to get you out of the pre-conference and into the Google Summit!

Participants will experience the Google Workspace in a different way as they learn how to expand their knowledge of Google Docs, Slides, and Forms to create individualized content for students. Attendees will learn how to modify existing assignments or create new, interactive ones for a diverse range of learners using often overlooked GSuite tips and tricks. They will also receive an overview of helpful add ons and extensions (i.e. CLOZEit, InsertLearning, Screencastify) that allow for the creation of multiple, unique assignments and will meet every student at their need level and learning style.


Chromebook 1:1 challenges and How to overcome them! (Bates from VIZOR)

Managing a fleet of Chromebooks can be challenging, particularly if your school or district is 1:1 or planning to do so. If you are struggling to keep an accurate inventory of your Chromebooks, maintain visibility of who has what device, where those devices are located, track repairs, costs, funding sources, warranty details and device end-of-life… you are not alone! This session will address the common challenges schools and districts face when managing Chromebooks and the most effective ways to resolve them.


Level Up Your Worksheets With KAMI (Binkley Jr.)

KAMI changed the way our district had students complete remote learning activities during the pandemic. When we returned to in-person learning, we fought hard against returning to the way things were before. We formed a list of fundamental instructional programs that all educators in our district needed to not only know how to use but regularly use them. That is where LEVEL UP YOUR WORKSHEETS WITH KAMI came from. This session focuses on (1) quick tips to get the most out of your Google Docs created worksheets or PDFs in your Drive with KAMI and (2) feedback and engagement structures within KAMI. Free and paid features of Kami will be highlighted in this session.

See how you and your students can take Classroom to the next level with mobile!


Beyond the Slideshow: Google Slides Activities for all Subjects - Deep Dive (Curts)

Level Up Path & Pace in Math with Google Tools (Vedder)

Participants will be introduced to a Google Doc template I call a “Level Up Board,” which contains a table with Learning Targets (scaffolded targets in a unit), Watch & Learn (videos), Practice & Play (activities), and Checkpoints (formative assessment.) Students take ownership of learning, have differentiated materials, and are highly engaged with the choice of resources. We’ll identify how tools and skills (Google Tools, Screencastify, Quizizz, Pear Deck, etc.) learned during the Google Summit can be combined in this great resource and classroom model.


Using Google Sheets and the autoCrat extension to manage student discipline and other communication tasks. (Webb)

At Ferguson Hall Freshman School, we use Google Sheets and the autoCrat extension to manage our student discipline workflow. We handle discipline referrals, consequence letters, and PBIS data all using the same system. Having used an "enterprise" level software program in the past, I feel that our process not only matches what the software program offered, but exceeds it in some capacities. Participants will leave with the knowledge to create a streamlined student discipline process for their school/district. This knowledge extends past student discipline and into other areas of mass communication. Need to send an individual testing letter to each student and family in your school? AutoCrat can do that! Want to create a professional looking rubric for your science fair based on summary evaluator data? AutoCrat can do that!


Marie Kondo Your Students’ Digital Classroom Experience! (Zubik)

Come join us to learn how we have streamlined our student’s digital classroom experience using everyday Google tools. In this session we will be discussing how to use Google Sites, Slides, and Classroom to keep our students organized. There will be time for you to put some of these practices into place and start today!
