Using Google Sites for communication and collaboration is a powerful way to prepare students for college and career readiness. This session will highlight how students and teachers use Sites to share, reflect, and collaborate on their work. Presenters will share their expertise using Sites in the classroom. Participants will learn how to maximize the integration of Sites into their practice.
This session will help educators to transform the communication of learning that students do and helping students to increase their collaborative skills. The website and digital portfolio skills that educators will leave with will help bring their education truly into the 21st century. Our session will help educators gain a true insight into authentic assessment of student learning over time.

This session will focus on the transformation from substitution to redefinition. Participants will leave with practical ideas of ways to increase student ownership, individualized learning, and academic risk taking. Specific examples of teacher lessons will also be provided that cover a variety of curricular areas.
