Innovation Institute 2017

Educational technology is fun and exciting and absolutely necessary to prepare students for their futures. At the same time, there is also a wealth of information about the need for authentic relationships between educators and students. What is lacking at this time is how to marry these two aspects of education. How can we use technology to build relationships? How can classrooms interact with technology in a way that draws people closer together and creates a community of learners instead of isolating students from each other and their teacher? This session will demonstrate how to build and strengthen relationships using Docs, Forms, Sheets, Slides and a few add-ons. I will show you how to gain insight into your students, how to quickly and easily provide meaningful feedback, how to differentiate instruction, and how to practice authenticity with your students. Attendees will not only leave with inspiration, but also with all of my materials shared digitally for use in their own classrooms.
