For classroom teachers dealing with the changes and benefits that AI and Technology have brought to our everyday, join me and delve into the practical applications of Google Workspace for Education, whether you're just starting out or already a tech whiz. This workshop explores the best tools within Google Workspace for classroom teachers, from Fundamentals to Plus features.
Discover how features like Google Forms, Practice Sets, and Read Along can transform your approach to assessment and school-wide oracy. We will then go further with the new Gemini features built into Google Classroom, allowing you to instantly generate quizzes, differentiate content, and engage with pre-existing AI Classroom agents with a click. We will also introduce Class Tools to manage student devices, pinning tabs for focus and using live translated captions.
The best way to learn is by doing! So be ready for hands-on experience creating your own resources and testing these with other educators, ready to take back to your schools. This workshop is designed to provide educators with practical tools and strategies they can immediately implement to enhance their teaching and assessment practices within the Google Workspace environment.
This session is ideal for:
Classroom Teachers: Looking to streamline assessment and engage students.
Tech Leads: Wanting to demonstrate the value of Plus features like Class Tools and Gemini.
Assessment Coordinators: Seeking robust, AI-enhanced tools for tracking progress.
NOTE: this workshop uses features available the paid editions of Google Workspace for Education.
Are you ready to move from consuming content to creating interactive digital tools? Join me to discover the emerging world of "Vibe Coding" where creativity meets logic without the heavy lifting of complex coding. This hands-on session introduces teachers to Canva Coding and Gemini Canvas to build bespoke interactive activities that are free and shareable for your students and colleagues.
The best way to learn is by doing! Be ready to build your own interactive educational tool during the session. You will learn how to design the aesthetic interface in Canva, use Gemini to generate the logic and interactivity, and finally, package it all together on a shareable Google Site. You will leave with a live, shareable resource and the skills to empower your own students to become creators of their own learning tools.
This session is ideal for:
Creative Educators who want to elevate their teaching resources beyond standard slides and docs.
Curriculum designers looking to build a central hub of interactive, innovative resources on Google Sites.
Tech enthusiasts interested in the low-code/no-code movement and how AI can act as a co-pilot in software creation.
Ensure no student is left behind with a workflow designed to support absent, disadvantaged, and low-attendance learners. This workshop dives deep into how AI can act as a personal learning bridge, transforming static resources into accessible, engaging content. Whether you are supporting students catching up from home or differentiating for diverse needs in the classroom, you will discover how to utilise NotebookLM’s AI Studio and Learning Guidance to create immersive review materials.
Then, we will unlock the power of Gemini Gems and Brisk Boost to provide safe, structured essay writing practice and feedback loops. Learn how to build a digital support tutor that fosters independence and confidence for your most vulnerable learners. You will learn how to set bespoke AI learning objectives and monitor student performance with real-time progress tracking. We will explore how to generate instant whole-class feedback, allowing you to adapt your teaching in the moment rather than after the lesson.
This session is ideal for:
Pastoral leads and special education educators looking for scalable ways to support students with attendance or learning gaps.
Subject leads wanting to create reusable, high-impact revision resources like audio-visual guides and writing coaches.
Teachers seeking to promote student independence by giving learners the tools to self-regulate and catch up without constant teacher intervention.
