All Things Google w Alice Keeler

Alice Keeler has an amazing array of ideas that she is constantly sharing with educators about using Google Drive and Google Classroom which you can find on her webpage.

But she also shares lots of her ideas with short videos such as the one above which argues (and I agree) that we need to leave our comfort zone and try looking at different approaches to teaching. Keeler also has a playlist for using Google Classroom.

For me the best thing that Keeler does is Tweet idea after idea on how to do all things Google. Along with that she offers scripts (prewritten computer language which you can use with little or no training) and at the bottom of the page you will find apps that you can add to Chrome to more easily do some of the things she discusses such as mail merging using Google Drive. This goes along with her book 50 Things You Can Do With Google Classroom.
