Google Apps for Education Workshop

Please Note - This opportunity will be limited to B.Ed students who are not writing the compulsory Math Exam on March 20th, 2018.

Good Afternoon B.Ed Students:

We are a group of English teachers from Sir William Mulock SS of York Region District School Board who are working with a Ministry grant (Provincial Knowledge Exchange - PKE) to provide PD related to the use of Google Apps for Education.

For the last eight years Sir William Mulock has been at the leading edge of developing blended learning classrooms with a focus on authentic technology enhanced instruction and practice. As part of our PKE project we would like to launch a PD opportunity for teacher candidates that we think will help further prepare them for their practicums and give them a head start when it comes to navigating the technology focused pedagogy that is happening at the elementary and high school level. 

What we are offering is a daylong workshop session (9:00am-2:30pm)  on Google Apps for Education (lunch provided -vegetarian options will be available), giving the teacher candidates the basics of Google Apps with relevant, real world applications to teaching practice. We've been doing a similar presentation/workshop for teachers for a number of years with great success.

What: Introduction to Google Apps for Education
When: March 20th 9am-2:30pm
Where: Sir William Mulock SS (705 Columbus Way, Newmarket Ontario - Library)

If you are interested in participating, please fill out this Google form a.s.a.p. Please note that we can take 20 participants for the first offering with the possibility of more later in the semester. 

Thank you!

Angela Barrett, Michelle von Enckevort, Anna Sotiropoulos and Derrick Schellenberg
