As we return to school this week I Am working on 1:1 Chromebooks, Internet Safety and will use Peardeck to review policies with students. I have setup up Google Classrooms prior to meeting students and incorporating Getting to Know You surveys, flipgrids and/or interactive notebooks.
Students will start with two modules from Applied Digital Skills (Organizing Google Drive and Healthy Digital Habits). Teachers have provided a list of recommended G-Suite skills to address with students and that will be a focus for our first few units. I will also be looking for ways to integrate with content teachers.
I am finding the new integration of Classroom with Google’s Applied Digital Skills helpful. An over of the curriculum and wealth of resources https://www.edtechteam.com/blog/2018/10/applied-digital-skills-week-explore-curriculum
Next up will be developing pacing and looking for ways to include CSFirst curriculum and developing a scope and sequence for a trimester hybrid offering.
Another area of development will be with portfolios.
MS Instructional site with resources
In addition in between classes I am looking for ways to provide teachers with coaching in remote days and support on learning new tools and updates to existing tools. We are anticipating Google Meet enterprise updates in the next few weeks. I created some back to school resources for PD in Classroom and forms.
As we head into our first full week, next week I am reminded you can attempt to plan but everything is fluid and changing as we design materials.

Applied Digital Skills post1 2018 - and today an updated tweet from from Eric Curts with Google Hipster 2 #9 again Applied Digital Skills is a free digital literacy curriculum, with over 150 hours of content, for upper elementary, middle school and high school students, as well as adult learners. The practical lessons focus on accomplishing a task and solving problems that relate to everyday life, like budgeting for a purchase, creating a resume, doing a college search, or planning an event.
The curriculum is all project based learning, and has short instructional videos for each lesson, so everything that is needed is ready to go. Teachers can use all of the curriculum or just pick and choose the lessons that fit into their subject area.
This is a fantastic resource for teachers who are looking for practical, technology integrated lessons that are ready for use with their students. These can also be used for adults as self-paced professional development.
Although I attended a workshop in the past, Eric just does a great job of sharing additional materials and resources, on Applied Digital Skills from his blog along with session
