Tech Tools

 Now is the time to embrace tech.  Start with Google’s G-Suite for Education.  I use Docs, Slides, Sheets, YouTube, Blogger, Classroom, Drive, Gmail, and Calendar.  Why?  They are all integrated!  Step one is getting a gmail account.  Start with Classroom.  I set up each subject as a separate classroom in addition to the Co-op classes.  I post YouTube videos, links, docs, and slideshows for topics into Classroom.  Additionally, I take pix to add with assignments.  This way, I have an on-going digital portfolio.  Get in the habit of saving to Drive.  I just scanned (with my iPad) a hard copy of a lab I cannot locate on Google. I sent the scan to my Gmail account.  Gmail converts it to a pdf file.  Gmail also allows me to save pdf files to Drive.  Once in Drive, I can add the pdf lab copy to assignments.  Did you know you can scan with your iPhone or iPad?  I didn’t until recently.  I was scanning materials to a jump drive using the local library’s copier.  The local library here is still closed from Covid-19.  I had to get creative.  You can, too!  Start with Google.  Below are screen shots demonstrating these tech tools.
