I am passionate about student engagement, it matters! Google Forms, Jamboard, and Google Classroom are not by themselves engaging. You must be intentional in how you use them to really engage students. I have teamed up with OTIS to bring you 3 webinars on using Google Tools for Student Engagement. If you missed the live presentation please check out the recordings!

Teaching with Google Jamboard
Google Jamboard Jams are free web-based files that lives in your Google Drive. If you are not already using Google Jamboard, you will want to add this to your teaching toolbox.

It will cover everything from the basics of how to navigate to lessons/activities you can use today! Alice will also cover some important pedagogical considerations to help you know when and how to use Jamboard. Some participants in the live session will receive a copy of Alice’s new book, “Teaching with Google Jamboard,” which contains over 90 teaching ideas and comes with sample “Jams” that you can use to help guide you and your students toward greater proficiency with Jamboard. \

I was able to register for the first one but not the second; Jamboard one said I needed more than a free account.
After a period of time some of the workshops are no longer free on OTIS.
