In this session, teachers will learn how to implement and assign ready-to-use video lessons that teach digital skills that have immediate, real-life application. The curriculum teaches the digital skills students need to succeed in the classroom and on the job, from researching to analyzing data. Not only are there lessons for middle and high schoolers, but adult learners as well. Learn how conditional formatting works by creating pixel art with Google Sheets; Learn to set goals and check-in points for the school year by writing an email to yourself, then scheduling it to send at a later date using Gmail; Present your ideas for classroom expectations by brainstorming classroom expectations and creating a slideshow presentation about them using Google Slides. These are just a few of the examples of how we can teach and learn practical digital skills, while using Google's free project-based video curriculum.
