District 64 invites parents and adult members of the community to explore ”Google Apps for Education” at a Parent University evening on Monday, January 26 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Jefferson School, 8200 Greendale, Niles.
Google Apps for Education have become an integral part of District 64's Learning Ecosystem over the last few years, as students have been given the opportunity to use this powerful productivity tool in their learning environments.
The session is designed to give parents an overview of the different Google Apps that are being utilized in classrooms across District 64 and the world. Participants will see various student examples and gain a deeper understanding of what learning is like in the 21st Century classroom. They will also receive a primer on the full suite of apps: Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and many more useful tools for teaching and learning.
This program is presented by District 64 Instructional Technology Coaches Carrie Bellen (Franklin School) and Amanda Pelsor (Carpenter School).
It is free and open to all adult members of the community, and is timed so that you may stay to attend the Board of Education meeting that follows, too!
