Teaching with Google Apps

This session explores how instructors may leverage Google’s collaboration applications to improve teaching and learning in discussion and lab sections. Presenters will provide a brief overview of a variety of Google applications (e.g., Docs, Forms, Moderator, Google+ Hangouts), emphasizing their potential pedagogical applications and showcasing examples of innovative teaching use cases from early adopters at U-M. Participants will also engage in hands-on simulations of classroom activities using these applications to increase student engagement and collaboration. If you have a lap top computer, please bring it, fully charged, to the session. NOTE: This session will not include comprehensive instruction on how to operate individual Google apps, instead, it will focus on how the apps can increase teaching effectiveness and/or efficiency.
