As we embark on our digital learning journey, ensure you are familiar with all of the skills listed under the "Essentials" heading below. Once you are comfortable with those skills, feel free to peruse the other two areas.
The "Good to Know" skills you can live without, but they will make your life much easier during the student online learning cycle. The "Extra Credit" topics are awesome tips and tricks that can push your Google Classroom skill level up a notch or two.
Next to each skill, you will find links that will bring you to a video tutorial or text document. If a link isn't there yet, it's coming. We decided it was more important to get information to you NOW than to wait until the site was 100% complete. Please reach out to a Learning Technologies Coach if you need us to add any additional tutorial topics. This website will continue to grow and evolve over time.
