CUE 2015 Fall Conference

Brought to you by CUE, the producers of the Google Teacher Academy, the Advanced Google Workshop for Educators (GWE) invites participants to delve into innovative ways Google tools can be used in education. A full day of fast-paced presentations and hands-on activities such as experience with managing the document inbox, sharing collections, beyond the basics in Google Docs, advanced features in Google Sites, using Forms to create rubrics, investigating scripts and creating interactive Maps. Google Certified Teachers share ways they've implemented tools such as Google Docs, Google Maps, Google Sites, and... even more. Participants who complete the event are given access to the Google Workshops for Educators Network (GWEN), an online community focused on supporting educators as they learn more about the power of Google to drive student learning. This workshop is for advanced users. CUE is an official Google Professional Development partner. Participants need to bring their own laptop. BYOL

Teaching for the Common Core is all about building skills. The way we build skills in our classroom is with fun activities with clever integration of technology. We'll show you how any skill or topic can be more awesome - whether it's research skills, or writing better sentences, or learning how to analyse media and complex texts - through the use of simple tools like Google Draw and free online assessment tools! You will leave with a set of infinitely customisable forms that cover a range of Common Core skills, and can be used in any content area with any student. We will talk about the latest research about learning and put those principles into practice in a fun, creative, and innovative environment.

We live and work in a global society, and yet for many students their frame of reference is a very small community or neighborhood. Expand their horizons by including Google’s geo tools and apps so students can grow their understanding of how they fit in the global landscape. These tools work well across all grades and content areas. Featured Apps: My Maps, Google Earth, Forms, Sheets, TourBuilder. This is designed for intermediate and advanced attendees.

The Apple Watch enables students to track health and activity during the school day, quickly access reminders on assignments, review and take notes, and the options keep expanding. Collaborating together participants will investigate methods students can take advantage of this powerful technology. Each participant will receive an Apple Watch Sport.
