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.
