Description

This course is designed for teachers interested in digging deeper into Google and the implications of Google’s suite of tools for education. We’ll look critically at this concept of “the cloud” and take a glance at some of the possible objections. Confident in our use of the cloud, we’ll dive into Google’s tools such as Google Docs, Google Forms, and much more. As we draw to a close, we’ll look towards how we can extend Google Drive with apps that can add additional functionality to the classroom.
