San Diego USD Google for Education Workshops

Multimedia text sets are collections of content that you can curate, package, and efficiently push out to students using Google Docs. This session will take a look at how using Google Apps for packaging and workflow can greatly enhance your instruction by maximizing the time you have in the classroom. We will share a ton of examples on how text sets can be used to enhance student learning. Each participant will leave the session with new thinking about how to effectively integrate digital instruction, along with multiple lessons and ideas for use in any classroom. You will even have a chance to develop your own!

Avoid over prescription and stop denying your students the chance to explore by implementing The Inquiry Design Model (IDM).  Learn how to create a quality IDM lesson, practice question writing, integrate appropriate technology tools, and collaborate with others to create a lesson you can use next year.  IDM lessons help students practice a variety of skills such as integrating and evaluating content from a variety of media and formats, analyzing and comparing two or more texts, and reading closely to make and support logical inferences and conclusions.  Come join the fun and explore the world of IDM.
