Google Camp


Have you heard me talk about going to Google Camp last summer?  I had a great time learning and putting all things Google into practice in a class called, "Google Apps for the Collaborative Classroom" through District 207's PLAY.  

They are offering the same class again this summer, and I thought I'd pass along the information if it's something that may interest you.  Click here for more information or read below.  There are also offering an Advanced Google Apps in the Collaborative Classroom.   Click here for more information.


This week long experience, planned and designed by Maine 207’s team of Google Certified Apps Trainers, will first prepare you to use the core suite of Google Apps for Education, which includes Google Drive, Gmail, Sites, Calendar, Chat, Groups and Video. As teachers learn the tools, there will be hands-on opportunities for modifying existing lessons to make them more collaborative through Google Apps. Teachers will also have the chance to model authentic student activities by building a portfolio of work using Google Sites.

Courses are 4 full days from 8:30 am - 3:30 pm, and the final day (5) is from 8:30 am - 11:30 am. Lunch will be provided on each of the full day sessions.

Who Should Attend?

Anyone wanting to learn more about how to use Google Apps in the classroom at any grade level or within any subject area. Attendees will be given ample time to work with these tools to modify or design their own lessons. This will be a hands-on, collaborative experience where you will work with the tools and learn from others. Everyone, from beginners to experts in Google Apps, will benefit from this experience.
