Google: Sites, Google + Communities, Hangouts, & Photos

Google Sites - AM

Google sites can be used as a teacher web page, student project page, or an ePortfolio. Sites can be totally or partially private or public and parts of them can even be interactive. Sites can contain documents, photos, videos, discussions, calendars, and much more. This session will get you started on creating your own Google Site.

What you need to know:  comfort level with Google Drive and Docs

What you need to bring: content for your site (if you wish)

Google+ — Communities, Hangouts, and Photos - PM

[Note that Google + must be turned on in your district domain—if it is turned on, you will see your +name to the left of your sign-in.]

Use your online connections to create and participate in communities and hangouts with students and other professionals. With a “facebook-type” look, Communities are useful in the classroom and for your professional development. Use Hangouts to communicate with students, colleagues, and professional learning. Photo uploads, storage, organizing, and sharing will also be explored.

What you need to know: no prerequisites

What you need to bring: photos on a flashdrive or on your laptop/Chromebook
