Teaching Newbies GAFE – How to teach the basic menus and operations in Google Slides

For my dissertation I will be giving several classes on different Google Apps for Education (GAFE) Apps and uses for them in your classroom. I thought it might be useful for other teachers and PD Developers to know how you can teach newbies the basics of programs like Google Slides without stressing them out. I find that in the excitement of the Demo Slam and all the “AWESOMENESS” the people we really need to have on our side, the newbies, who haven’t necessarily bought in yet, are lost. How do you get your reluctant or nervous learners to use a tool that they are scared of or don’t want to use? Those are the basic themes of this series.

I will show how I taught the class and the basic resources I used, and I hope that you can use a similar activity to teach teachers at your school.

I will be streaming it as a live hangout, but it will be available later on YouTube, below.
