Google Drive- Docs, Forms, and Presentations

For me, Google Apps for Education is one of the most exciting things happening in the edtech world.  It is changing and evolving daily- leaving us with unlimited opportunities to incorporate technology into the classroom.  Embedded below is my presentation from the Google Apps for Education Class and here is a link to a site that features ideas for integration. 

One major component of incorporating Google Apps successfully is the use of Google Chrome internet browser, if you do not already have this installed on your computer, download it here.  

Michael J. Graham, a fellow Google Apps for Education Certified Trainer has quite literally written the book on incorporating Google Apps in the Common Core.  This is a must read!  Click on the book to be taken to the amazon link.

At times, the sheer amount of programs and ideas available can be overwhelming, to help with this I have compiled some of my favorite resources.
