Teaching Math with Google Apps

Teaching math in the 21st century has changed. Technology, specifically Google Apps, along with the Common Core changes how students learn math. Alice Keeler and Diana Herrington teach this workshop which goes over techniques for using Google Apps, Google Classroom and Google Docs for teaching math. This workshop focuses on techniques that can be applied in grades 4-12. Participants will practice using Google Apps to support Common Core math instruction.

This workshop focuses on applications of Google Apps. Users should have a Google Apps account. Users are expected to have at least a basic understanding of Google Apps. We will not cover basics such as creating a Google Doc, but rather how to apply that to teaching math. This workshop is for intermediate users of Google Apps.

Device Requirements

These workshops require the use of a PC, Chromebook, Mac or other non-tablet device. While Google Apps are awesome on a mobile and some mobile features will be addressed in the workshop not all activities are mobile friendly. Chrome extensions, Add-ons and some Google App features such as equation editor do not work on a tablet. To ensure all participants can participate in all activities, we ask that you bring a computer.
