Connecting Your Classroom to the World with Google Apps
Google Expeditions




Excellent teachers strive to bring the treasures, beauty and wonder of the outside world into their classrooms. In this session, we will explore Google Apps that empower you to connect your class to the best the world has to offer.

We'll begin the day with a visit from Kevin Hodges, Regional Education Manager with Google for Education, for a hands on demonstration of Google Expedition, which utilizes Google Cardboard to access natural wonders from around the world via Virtual Reality field trips. You'll be some of the first teachers to experience this pioneer program.

When we explore the Google Cultural Institute, you are guaranteed to find something that will interest you and your students among the millions of curated pieces of art and artifacts.

Whether you want to get "nose to nose" with the Venus de Milo, or stand 'on stage' at the Ford Theater and see where Lincoln sat that fateful night, utilizing the Google Cultural Institute makes the learning real for your students.

Real connections are a two-way street, so we will not only show you how, through Google Hangouts, you can bring experts to your class, but how you can connect with classrooms and have your students share with each other, and the world!

Finally, we'll share tips and tricks to help make you and your class look as good on photos as they do in person. With an emphasis on skills, you won't need a fancy camera to take better pics. We know that when you as a teacher are empowered and feel confident taking photos, you show off your students' work and build connections with your parents and the community.

Of course, along the way you will have 'sandbox' time to discuss, explore and create.

Our goal for this day is to inspire and empower!
