Part 2: Google Jamboard, Docs and Slides
A Masterclass in Collaboration and Personalization Possibilities
Google Docs and Slides have evolved SO much in the past few years, and Jamboard is just a thrill in itself! From a teaching and learning perspective, these tools are very much the standard in terms of tools that can support ALL learners not only in reading and writing and presenting, but also in developing today’s competencies of communicating, collaborating, and critical thinking. Today, we teachers can use Jamboard, Docs and Slides to better personalize learning by providing students with safe spaces to wonder and construct understandings together, as well as pathways in content and toolsets that provide them with voice and choice in what they learn and how they demonstrate that learning.
For the 2022-2023 school year, the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta and the Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium are pleased to continue its partnership in providing professional learning for teachers interested in receiving graduate level course credit in the area of Educational Technology. Teachers who complete twenty-four hours of educational technology professional learning through the Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium can leverage their ongoing professional learning -- learning that they would normally be undertaking -- toward the fulfillment of requirements of a University of Alberta graduate course, “Technology in Schools I.”

Part 3: Amp up student engagement and teacher clarity with SMART Lumio!
Much more than a tool, Lumio by SMART is an entire suite of tools that supports stages of learning. Whether used as a standalone or integrated with your favorite pre-created resources in SMART Notebook, Google Slides or even PDFs (and other file formats), Lumio adds a whole new layer of interactivity to every one of your documents by letting you and your students (permissions selected by you) annotate on documents and even more objects around in individual and shared activities.
Do you ever wonder what digital skills your students should have at their grade level? Do you wish there was an easy way to get them techy without stress and make online projects easier? No, this isn’t an infomercial pitch. Darren has created a digital skills scope and sequence that not only lists skills, it contains a choice board with all of the videos, resources, and templates you will need to take your students from zero to sixty with their technology skills. In this session we’ll look at how to use these resources to make your class capable and competent in their digital environment.

Part 4: Save time with Google Forms
How-tos, shortcuts, tips and templates that streamline instructional processes from planning to assessment
In this practical session, we'll examine how we can save time and keep organized by using Forms to support specific stages of the instructional process and streamline classroom routines.
In this session, explore what student-centered learning in a technology-rich environment can look like, and share and learn specific strategies we can use as teachers to leverage technology to help us promote student engagement as they step into the learning space, and, even more exciting, take steps to show the evidence of their learning in today’s digitally-enhanced world.

Much has been made over the years about shifting traditional professional development from “sit and git” to participatory, but just as in the classroom, where sometimes direct teaching is necessary to provide students with the background they need for your “guide on the side” activity that follows, so also a range of edtech professional development models can serve different purposes. Hence, “sit and git” seems to remain popular, even in our online sessions! Rather than assume that “sit and git” is the de facto approach, however, what if we all craft (and value) professional development opportunities that best meet the needs, experiences, and abilities of all learners in the room? How do we do that?
