Summer learning; we all do it right!? Well the past two days I have been participating in the South Coast Maine Summit for Google Education at Biddeford High School. A long way from Lincoln, but totally worth it. Before I even dive into my learning, let me just say that you can find their future events HERE and I recommend going. Our two Keynote speakers were Eric Lawson and Caitlyn Bennett. You should go give them a follow on Twitter right now because they were both AMAZING! I actually ended up going to 3 presentations by Eric, not including his Keynote speech, and a lot of what I learned came from those presentations. Okay, now onto the learning. Google ExtensionsSo my very first session was about Google Extensions (and it was with Eric). My huge take away, why wasn't I all ready using these? Extensions help make your life more organized and more productive. I have my favorites down below and here is a link to the session notes.
Google Add-onsAlso an Eric Lawson presentation, I learned a lot about Google Add-ons. Like extensions, they make your life easier. Unlike extensions, you need to be in the app to get them. So if I want an add-on for Google Docs, I need to be in Google Docs. Here are the session notes, and my favorite take aways.
Google Forms
Google Sheets
Google Docs
I also learned some great things about Google Expeditions and Google Tour Builder, but these are some of the best take aways I can offer. Once I have more time to reflect and plot, I hope to have a post about my plan for Genius Hour, as that was my ENORMOUS take away from this conference.
