Today was a professional development day at our school and I was asked to lead an hour long session on Google tools. I had given a similar seminar a couple weeks ago for a room full of teachers and enjoyed sharing tips to make life more efficient with Google but also ideas on how to integrate Google into the classroom. My computer lab has 24 computers and iMacs which I thought would be efficient but teachers just kept coming and the final head count was 47. I did a quick run through of Google Search, Gmail, iGoogle, and Reader in the time I had. I like to go fast pace and give people glimpses of the tools so that they have to really use their minds to keep up with the presentation and also to convince them to dig into it on their own after watching my trailer. Here are the slides with the screencasts embedded
