Google Drive as Collaboration Station
with Beth Holland

Drive as the collaboration hub, students can create and collaborate on a number of projects using iPads and other tablets. In this session, we will create and collaborate with Drive, Explain Everything, Book Creator, and more.

Google Drive & Google Classroom
with Greg Kulowiec

With the combination of Google Drive and Google Classroom, teachers in any 1:1 environment now have the capacity to create a blended learning environment where students can create, collaborate and submit all course work through one unified Google environment. This session will demonstrate and explore effective strategies for integrating both Google Drive and Google Classroom to create powerful and helpful learning environments for students.

YouTube - It's Not Just Cats & Khan Academy
with Richard Byrne

When most people think about YouTube, they think about sharing videos and or about all of the videos they can discover. Most people don't think about the useful video creation and editing tools that are built into YouTube. In this workshop we will learn how to use the many hidden features of YouTube that can make it a great tool for you and your students. Beyond learning about the tools, we'll cover privacy concerns, copyright concerns, and strategies for making engaging video projects.
