Google Comes to Edina

Google in Education is partnering with Edina Public Schools and Flipped Education to host the first Google in Education Minnesota Summit on May 11 from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. This one-day hands-on conference focuses on integrating Google Apps into education curriculum for grades K–12 and higher education. “The summits are a great place for teachers to come and be inspired to transform learning in their classroom and advance digital-age learning,” says Molly Schroeder, Edina technology integration specialist and co-owner of Flipped Education. “Each presentation will showcase real-world examples of how teachers and students are using Google Apps for Education in their classrooms.” Participants will receive interactive lectures led by Google-certified Google Apps Education Trainers. Participants will also learn a number of Google literacy components such as how to develop search strategies using Google. “Google Apps for Education is becoming a prolific operational aspect of the day-to-day teaching and learning process for schools across the globe,” says Edina high school principal Bruce Locklear. “To have the occasion to experience this conference in our own backyard creates so many positive opportunities for our staff and surrounding community.”Tickets are $130; register online at mngooglesummit.com. Edina High School 6754 Valley View Road
