Groovy Educators Using Google by Elizabeth A Cline https://padlet.com/eacline1/5swxpc0tqagahh5d A Gaggle of Teachers Collaborating about Google en-us 2022-09-23 00:48:53 UTC 2025-06-05 19:57:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4bb.png Purpose of this PLN eacline1 https://padlet.com/eacline1/5swxpc0tqagahh5d/wish/2309688157 What is a PLN you ask?
A professional learning network is a place where we can collaborate, share, and engage with others about a topic. It is ongoing and interactive. The more you share, the more we learn!

What is the purpose of this PLN?
This PLN is a space where we can discuss and learn about the various apps of Google Workspace, share ideas to effectively use this instructional technology in the classroom, and help others achieve Level 1 certification.

Why should we participate?
It takes a village to raise a child....especially when that child is living in a technology centered world. This PLN will allow ideas to be shared and knowledge to be gained to help support our students and your classroom. Plus, it is a wonderful and fun way to collaborate with other teachers and hopefully learn something new! ]]> 2022-09-23 01:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/eacline1/5swxpc0tqagahh5d/wish/2309688157 Learning Goals and Objectives eacline1 https://padlet.com/eacline1/5swxpc0tqagahh5d/wish/2309697446 This PLN is a space where we can actively participate and share with others to gain insight into the various Google apps for education. Below you will find our learning objectives for this PLN. 

1.  Participants will learn at least one new thing about each of the focus apps. 

2. Participants will actively share and participate in this PLN to both give and gain information. 

3.
