Changing Yellows to Green: Google Sheets for Tracking Team Progress
Do you get lost in shared files and Team Drive folders?  Do you have trouble finding files or folders because you weren't the one who named them?  The presenter will demonstrate how to use a Team Drive and a Google sheet to see at a glance the progress of teams using colors: red, yellow, and green.  Red means the team has no evidence of progress.  Yellow means the team has a plan or brainstorm, and green means the team has data, a draft, or a final product.  The plan or product must be hyperlinked to the cell in the Google sheet for the color to be changed.  This allows an administrator or teacher to see at a glance the progress of all groups.  Hyperlinking means a single click allows viewing of the most recent version of the work product, without searching for file names or shared documents.  The Team Drive means everyone can see the files of others groups, so nothing is stored on one person's drive.  This is ideal for projects such as accreditation self studies or student progress on inquiry projects.

It's Not About Google, It's About the Learning!
When we have an app for everything, it's hard not to let the apps drive the learning in the classroom. Apps are great, especially Google tools, but not a silver bullet for the classroom. It's what the STUDENTS DO with the apps and devices that matter.

Train Like a Navy SEAL
When the military needed more Navy SEALs, but didn't want to lower their standards, they developed a mental-toughness program with the help of psychologists. SEAL candidates learned to develop essential skills, including: positive self talk, movement, breathing, gratitude and other SEL strategies to help students succeed.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL), or teaching the whole child is beginning to gain a more prominent foothold in education. For teachers, starting it in their classroom may seem daunting, even though they might understand the value and research behind it. What does SEL look like in the kindergarten classroom? In 8th grade? What about at the high school level? This session can provide ways for teachers of all levels to get started with the important work of SEL in their classrooms.
