Developing Applied Digital Skills Using Google Tools Series

Overview: WIOA defines digital literacy as “the skills associated with using technology to enable users to find, evaluate, organize, create, and communicate information.” In this series we will explore how we can better integrate digital skills into the academic skills we are already developing and strengthening with our students. We will explore how the Google Drive, Google Forms, Google Docs and Google Slides can be used to develop and strengthen reading, writing, and critical thinking skills (for all levels) with an emphasis on the digital skills laid out in WIOA’s definition of digital skills. We will also review Google’s Applied Digital Skills curriculum which provides free project-based video curriculum designed to develop practical digital skills for teachers and students.

(Please note that you do not need to attend all three sessions of the series but it is advised)
Session 3: Introduction to Google Slides and the Applied Digital Skills Platform from Google

In this session, we will cover the basic mechanics of creating a self-scoring quiz using Google Forms. Participants will learn the different types of questions available in Google Forms, how to insert videos and pictures into a Google Form, how to set up the self scoring component, and how to share the quizzes with students so they can take them on their smartphones. We will also complete individual portfolios of the work you have been doing throughout the course.

This professional development opportunity is provided at no cost to you but has a value of $4500.00 for DYCD. If you register for and are subsequently unable to attend this session you are responsible for cancelling your registration or risk being waitlisted for future events.
