Even More Google Geekiness with Chris Walsh: Day 4 ISTE 2012


This session featured Chris Fitzgerald Walsh presenting some new Google features that could be used in education. I have to admit that I went to at least four sessions that I thought were incredibly useless. These sessions presented technology tools and information that have been used by teachers for quite a while now (many people walked out in the middle of these sessions). So it was refreshing to attend a session where the vast majority of the audience learned a couple of new things. 


There was a lot of information he provided, but luckily he created and shared a Google document that contains all of it.


Here is a list of topics you touched on:


  • Document Management 

  • Downloading documents as ZIP files

  • Research Tool in Documents

  • Translate documents into different languages

  • Create nonlinear question/answer assessments with Forms 

  • Google Drive Video (private YouTube video collection)

  • Shorten your Google URL with http://goo.gl/ 

  • Google Docs Template Gallery

  • Google Sites customization, embed work, and template gallery

  • And more!

For Korea International School teachers, please feel free to come to me this year if you need help with any of these features.
