Digital Learning Summit featuring Google for Education
Join us on June 16-18, 2020 for our first Summer Summit featuring G Suite for Education! This three-day Summit is designed for educators who would like to redefine their classroom with meaningful integration of Google apps and services.

Sessions during the Summer Summit will emphasize collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. Come and learn about how Google for Education can support teachers in leveraging the 4Cs to evolve their classroom practices. Participants will engage in hands-on learning and application, while also reflecting and setting goals for implementation.

Featured Speaker: Eric Curts

Eric Curts is an experienced classroom teacher, technology coach and certified Google Education Trainer and Innovator with more than 27 years of experience in education. His passion is to help educators see creative ways to use the tools they already have in their hands, so that students can make better use of technology to learn, collaborate, create, and share.

Eric is the author of "Making Best Use of GOOGLE CLASSROOM and Free Google Tools to Accelerate Student Learning (Grades K-6)," the extensive resource handbook each participant will receive at the seminar. He is a co-leader of his state’s Google Educator Group and runs the award-winning blog, "Control Alt Achieve" where all of his Google Apps and Edtech resources can be found.
