We will be learning how to make the most of Google Slides in our classroom as a guide in our classroom management, teaching, and differential reinforcement so that our students and us are organized, on task, and having fun while learning.
Unlock the creative power of real-time visual thinking! In this hands-on workshop you’ll dive into FigJam—the free, browser-based whiteboard from Figma—and discover how it can supercharge lesson planning, student collaboration, and professional brainstorming alike. We’ll start with a fast-paced tour of the interface, hotkeys, and facilitation tools (stickies, voting, timers, and more), then practice turning blank canvases into interactive activities that spark engagement and critical thinking. By the end you’ll: --Build and share a ready-to-use FigJam board you can deploy with learners tomorrow. --Master shortcuts that keep discussions moving and inclusive. --Collect a toolkit of templates for mind-mapping, storyboarding, and feedback cycles.
Whether you’re brand-new or looking to level up, come jam with us and leave equipped to transform any idea into a collaborative, visually memorable experience!
Far too often, we hand students internet-enabled devices—laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and phones—without first equipping them to navigate safely. This session equips you with engaging ways to teach Digital Citizenship, guiding learners to protect their personal information, recognize and respond to cyberbullying, manage social-media use, cultivate a positive digital footprint and reputation, and guard their privacy online.
