The workshops below explore a variety of tools and the manner in which they allow teachers to readily transition to an online environment with enriched lessons and in turn, allow students to express their knowledge in meaningful ways. The workshops also look at how additional apps can be used in tandem with G-Suite tools to further enhance the online learning experience for both teachers and students.
