Hey friend!
Teaching new technology can be overwhelming and exciting. Sometimes the hardest part is slowing down and figuring out where to even begin!
I totally feel ya’ and I am here to take that pressure off of your plate. As you already know, teaching technology to kids is a step-by-step process. You have to start slow to go fast!
I always thought that with technology, you let the kids have at it and figure it out on their own.
While this can work sometimes, I quickly figured out that exploration with guidance is totally o.k.! Having a healthy balance of what’s expected when using a tool and what students can figure out on their own is AMAZING.
______________________________
With that in mind, I created this Getting to Know Google Docs lesson that gives you the perfect mix for just starting out. With a short mini lesson and a Scavenger Hunt for students to explore, you will have Google Doc experts in no time.
