As you may know, one of the ways that I am able to keep Free Technology for Teachers running is through sales of my online Practical Ed Tech courses. For the last few years the most popular of those courses has been Getting Going With G Suite. More than 500 teachers have gone through that course. But the course has always been a livestreamed course. For 2018 I’m changing that and offering it in an on-demand format in a course that I’m calling G Suite for Teachers.
G Suite for Teachers is an on-demand course that was designed for teachers who are new to using the powerful the tools within G Suite for Education. In this course you’ll learn everything you need to know to feel comfortable using all of the core G Suite tools with your students. This course is more than just a series of “how to” videos. You’ll be provided with concrete examples of activities that you can use and adapt to use in your classroom.
G Suite for Teachers is an on-demand course. That means that you can start whenever you are ready.* Once you start you will be emailed two lessons per week for five weeks. Each lesson contains a video (20-30 minutes long), a PDF outline to follow, and suggested activities to try with your students. And if you get stuck at any time, just hit reply on the email and I’ll be here to help you. You can stop, start, rewind, and re-watch the videos in each lesson as many times as you like.
