Triple G: Gobs of Google Goodies

Had the fun opportunity to present at our district's SPARK Digital Learning conference. It was a very fun group to present Gobs of Google Goodies to. We started with the Cha-Cha Slide and ended singing like Freddie Mercury. Hopefully, fun was had by all.

The AI Delima: Cheating or Working Smarter

I created this AI presentation for a principals leadership meeting I sent in a proposal for, but it didn't get accepted. Still, I like it so thought I'd share. Similar to my other AI presentation, but this one focuses on defining student cheating, acknowledging AI exists, and the need for a policy.

Thank you to Matt Miller for the inspiration and for the "What's Cheating" graphic. Make sure to check out his site for many great resources. https://ditchthattextbook.com/

This license lets others remix, adapt, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

AI: From Skynet to Superpower; Tools you can use today

I was privileged to present this session for LISD teachers twice this summer. As I told them, I am not an AI expert but an enthusiast. It will be interesting to see how this will impact education.

I showed these tools to be used as teacher tools and not necessarily for students use. Still a lot of fuzzy policies out there for students.

A.I. presentation

Working on a new (I guess more like updated) A.I. presentation for some summer classes. How does anyone keep up with this new stuff?!? So much to tell teachers and so little time. Keep looking at our social media for @LISDTechTips on Facebook, X(Twitter), Instagram, and Threads.

Summertime Google Training

https://edutrainingcenter.withgoogle.com/training

Did that say Summertime? How about anytime training? Training all online, on demand, when you are ready to learn.

Many of our teachers in the district have received or will be receiving carts of Chromebooks. The question now is how to use them with students. While teachers may be proficient in the Google tools they utilize, using the tools to enhance the curriculum is another challenge. That is where the Google for Education Training Center comes in.

Teachers that need help getting started should start at the Fundamentals Training. If teachers feels a little confident, the Advanced Training course is available.

Feel like a real beginner? Then maybe start at the Resources section to learn the different Google Tools (like Docs, Slides, Classroom...) as well as all about the Chromebooks.

A wonderful resource for teachers to increase their confidence using Google in the classroom.
