Cool Google Tools
Salon A
Sharon Cole
If you’ve looked into using Google tools in your classroom before, you know how many great resources are available. Google has so many tools for the classroom that it can be hard to keep track or know where to get started. That’s why we’ve put together this session to give a small sampling of the best tools for the classroom and ideas on how to use them.

This session will explore the use of technology resources to encourage and promote creativity and collaboration in digital student projects. Free digital tools that can be accessed on any web-enabled device can provide excitement and engagement for student projects. For students of all ages, providing information digitally gives them the chance to be more creative in a format they are comfortable with while increasing important 21st century skills.
