On Friday, March 7th, I was able to spend some quality time with 120 of my closest Educational Assistant friends. That Friday was a division Professional Learning Day in which all PSD teachers and support staff were in meetings and professional learning opportunities. It was my pleasure to create a half-day learning event for each group surrounding PSD’s work in Google Apps for Education.
This innovative, edgy and fun event was title The Google Workout and although no specialized clothing was needed, our participating Educational Assistants had their digits twirling and their craniums energized!
All in all, it was great to work with two groups of EA’s who used laptops and chromebooks to engage themselves in the Google environment. I continue to look forward to working with them throughout the year!
