June+21

= **English Department Web 2.0 In-Service** = = = June 21 7:30 - 10:30 a.m.


 * Goals**: To give the English department a few options to help cut down on the use of paper and scan sheets, as well as a few things they can do to manage a classroom of technology users, even when the teachers are not expert in all the tech being used by the students. After an overview, we will focus on three main areas, but would like you to be able to independently explore whichever applications fit best for you and will benefit your students.

**Agenda**: An overview of several options:

Paperless
Backchannel with Today's Meet

CPS/Poll Everywhere -- Paperless quizzes/formative assessment

Quizlet - Make flashcards

Google Forms - Data collection and formative assessment ASAP
