Teaching Math with Google Apps: 50 G Suite Activities Apr 6, 2017

by Alice Keeler , Diana Herrington , Jo Boaler

( 212 )

$9.97

“Why do I need to know how to do math when I can find the answer on my phone?”

If you’ve ever heard a variation of that question from your students—or asked it yourself—this book is for you. Bringing technology into the classroom is about so much more than replacing overhead projectors and chalkboards with Smart Boards. Unfortunately, as Stanford Professor Jo Boaler says, “We are in the twenty-first century, but visitors to many math classrooms could be forgiven for thinking they had stepped back in time and walked into the Victorian era.” But that’s all about to change . . .

In Teaching Math with Google Apps, author-educators Alice Keeler and Diana Herrington reveal more than 50 ways teachers can use technology in math classes. The goal isn’t using tech for tech’s sake; rather, it’s to help students develop critical-thinking skills and learn how to apply mathematical concepts to real life.

Memorization and speed tests seem irrelevant to students who can find the solution to almost any math problem with a tap of the finger. But today’s digital tools allow teachers to make math relevant. Specifically, Google Apps give teachers the opportunity to interact with students in more meaningful ways than ever before, and G Suite empowers students to stretch their thinking and their creativity as they collaborate, explore, and learn.

Teaching Math with Google Apps shows you how to:

Create engaging activities that make math relevant to your students
Interact with students throughout the learning process
Spend less time repeating instructions and grading work
Improve your lessons so you can better meet your students’ needs
Packed with lesson ideas, links to downloadable templates, step-by-step instructions, and resources, Teaching Math with Google Apps equips you to bring your math class into the twenty-first century with easy-to-use technology. What are you waiting for?

Are Littles ‘big enough’ to use technology in the classroom? Yes!

Pre-K and elementary school-aged children are naturally curious about the world around them. They love to explore and play, in fact, that’s how they learn. That innate drive to discover and willingness to try is also what makes Littles great at embracing new opportunities.

In Google Apps for Littles, author-educators Christine Pinto and Alice Keeler encourage teachers to tap into their young students’ curiosity, particularly when it comes to technology. The authors share a wealth of innovative ways to integrate digital tools in the primary classroom to make learning engaging and relevant for even the youngest of today’s twenty-first-century learners.

Practical ways to approach technology with young learners
Activities for integrating Google Apps in the primary classroom
Easy-to-implement ideas for using G Suite as an educator
Exercises that build important skills, such as critical thinking and collaboration

Children already know that they don’t need to wait for a grown-up to give them information, and many are already familiar with smartphones and tables. By helping them understand how to use these amazing digital tools to learn and create, rather than just consume information, you are equipping them for their future education.

Empower your Littles with experiences that place learning at their fingertips! It is time to shift your mindset and believe that the youngest kids on an elementary school campus can do more.
