Allow the Students to Show their PROCESS
with Aurasma!

than you think!
Presenter(s):

Building a Better Community: Using Google+ to Develop
Stronger Classroom Community and
Enhance Student Learning
Session(s): 4
Description:
Many teachers attend professional development and chat, Tweet, discuss, and share
during the learning. We multitask and engage in the professional development on multiple
levels, utilizing technology and backchannels to process and develop new learning. We
share what we like, learn, and want to challenge. What if students had the same
experience in our classes? While many schools have adopted Google Apps for Education
and transformed their teachers’ instruction and students’ learning, few have embraced the
power of Google+ Communities.
This presentation will explore how Google+ Communities can be used to engage all
learners and build classroom community, which can then be leveraged to promote active
student centered learning, collaboration, and both 21st century and Common Core skills.
Through the use of Google+ Communities and GAFE, students are empowered in
authentic and new learning in classrooms and beyond. Class never ends after 41-minutes
and students learning, interaction, and growth never needs to end.

shared narratives, and reflecting on self-assessments help students to see writing as a
formative practice. Participants in this workshop will review and discuss abundant
examples of student work. They will also be provided with full digital access to our
presentation materials and invited to create a backchannel of questions and comments
throughout our presentation. All attendees are invited to bring their own devices.
