Function Follows Form: How Google Apps can transform 21st Century learning
In the edWeb.net Emerging Tech community’s webinar this month, presenter, Michelle Luhtala, educated participants on the benefits of using Google Applications in the classroom. Schools across the country pledge to teach 21st century skills, but building a culture of collaborators can prove difficult. Luckily, Google Apps for education provides tools to transform an insular learning community into a collaborative one. In this session, the presenter introduced Google applications that empower teachers and students to learn together outside of the boundaries imposed by geography and time. Some of the Google Apps covered included Drive, Calendar, Forms, and Chrome, among others. Webinar attendees left the session with the tools and information to organize their classrooms and improve student collaboration using the latest in Google technology.

Emerging Tech is a professional learning community (PLC) where school librarians can explore all the ways to integrate technology and 21st century learning into school library programs. The community hosts free monthly webinars and live chats. Online discussions provide an easy way to continue the conversation and share ideas and experiences with peers across the country, and around the world. You’ll have an opportunity to collaborate with other librarians as you learn about and explore the many uses of technology in school libraries.
