[Name] Sean Scanlon [Description] This presentation focuses on creating a culture of collaboration within the school by encouraging every member of your faculty and staff to utilize the collaboration tools available from Google Apps for Education. In order to create this culture of collaboration in your school, your administration must lead by example, and everyone must be included in this culture - Parents, Students, Teachers & Administrators. In a demonstration of how your professional development can move from “sit and get” to a truly collaborative effort, the following will be discussed: Google Drive, Doctopus, Google Sites, Google Forms (Flubaroo), Groups, Hangouts Sharing lesson plans through Google Drive between teachers & administrators, allows administrators to comment directly into the teacher’s plans before and/or after their observations. Teachers get faster feedback, and can adjust accordingly. Using Google Calendars, class assignments and updates can be shared with students and parents without constantly updating a website. Parents can even sign-up for meetings using appointment slots. Google Hangouts is one of the most underutilized parts of Google Apps for Education. This can be used for professional development, review sessions, flipped classroom, student collaboration with other schools or professionals, etc… Explain Everything and YouTube will also be discussed in this portion of the presentation. Encouraging teachers to collaborate on lesson plans and curriculum development through Google Docs & Google Drive. As teachers and administrators build the culture of collaboration from the top, it will become more natural for teachers to encourage this type of collaboration amongst the students. Because of this, the students will likely use all of the tools discussed - and more. [Session Materials] Presentation Slides [Title]
