Empowering learners and guardians from day one will build a community that thrives all year long. This session will showcase various learning opportunities for elementary students and families though Google Tools, which educators can use at the start of their school year to build relationships with students. We will explore various ways to use Google Forms, Slides, Draw, and Docs. Participants will see activities where students set goals, learn about each other, and plan reflectively for their year. The activities shown will also build student agency and advocacy and provide students a myriad of ways to show their learning. You will then have time to create your own activities for your students to use in the fall!
