Google+This!

Since Googling has turned into a verb, what have you done with it? We will look at how teachers are using Google products in classrooms with students, and also for professional learning. Do you have a PLN or Personal Learning Network? We will show you how to start by using Google Reader! Do you wish you could collaborate with students or colleagues on a document? We will show you how using Google Docs! Do you wish you could get better search results? We will show you some tips and tricks using Google's search engine! Do you wish that your students would understand their digital footprint? We will show you some resources to provide support for them, and how Google is playing a role!
