| Doug Robertson | Google Drive Unburied My Desk
Google Site
| When students have access to Google Drive in their home lives and school
lives age-old statements like, "I lost my paper" will become a thing of
the past. Cloud computing is becoming a core feature of many operating
systems, so students need familiarity now in order to be successful
going forward into upper grades, college, and careers both domestic and
global. This session, geared towards beginners just discovering Drive,
will provide hands-on, consequence-free guided practice and
experimentation which can lead to easy implementation in any classroom,
no matter the tech level. |
