How to Create a Professional Development Series in Gmail

As we head into the final part of the school year some of us are commencing to think about and approach qualified improvement functions for the summer season and the adhering to school yr. It can be awesome to be ready to supply in-man or woman PD classes once more and I am on the lookout ahead to facilitating a several of all those this summertime. There is also still a need to deliver qualified mastering possibilities that will not call for every person to be in 1 place (bodily or almost) at the identical time. It was imagining about that idea that prompted me to feel about possibilities for offering self-paced experienced development.

For case in point, you could make a collection of 4 email messages that have directions on how to use functions of Google Forms. The collection may well get started with the essentials of working with Google Forms and then each and every subsequent e mail would establish on that. Every e-mail could incorporate a written overview, a movie overview, and a “do now” observe activity.

Of course, you may well also do that in Google Classroom.
