The 21st Century Skills reinforces the concept that students must learn to work in teams and collaborate together as they transition into the workplace. Teachers can support these skills by designing collaborative projects for students. This course will introduce participants to a “Project Based Learning” (PBL) model that will infuse several Google applications such as: Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Mail, and Google Advanced and Specialized Search.

Participants will collaborate in a “Project Based Learning” simulation that applies the appropriate Google tools. Classroom projects big and small can immediately apply the strategies and skills that will be emphasized in this 2 day course. The course will be facilitated by Jennifer Casper of Casper Consulting (formerly of CESA 5) and Pamela Hilleshiem-Setz of CESA 5.

All educators and administrators are invited to attend!
