Today was all about working smarter, not harder. There were lots of handy tips and apps to use to make a teacher's life a little easier! We looked at Google Calendar, Google Hangouts and Gmail. Although these were tools that I have used in the past, I was not using them to their full potential!! Obviously this was a huge surprise!!
Google Hangouts was something I used to chat with colleagues and I had never joined a group hangout before and it was so much fun. Screen sharing is awesome and I can't wait to share this experience with my students!! Learning and lots of fun!! This would be a great way to share learning!!
I had begun to use Google Calendar more this year to help me stay on track with my meetings and commitments. I have been creating events and inviting people to meetings. This taught me a few new handy hints and let me change settings and themes. Google Calendar has become a tool I use all of the time.
Gmail is something that I use all day everyday! It was great to go into settings and set up new labels and delete labels I have never used. Using labels has become so much easier than when I first started using Gmail. I found it very user friendly!!!
It was a really great session today and I am feeling confident using these Google Apps.
