From Google Docs to Google Earth…
All Google, All the Time
Students typically think of social studies as a dull, dry topic, but social studies teachers can use a variety of incredible online tools to make history, government, and economics come to life. Students can better understand challenging topics and form crucial connections with the aid of the correct map, video, or learning activity.
Google Workspace
Google Workspace is a set of Google tools that are tailored for collaboration, streamlining instruction, and keeping learniners engaged. As part of this presentation, our Google Certified Trainers will take a deep-dive into various Google Workspace tools and show you tips and strategies for integrating them into your social studies classroom.
Google Scholar
Google Scholar is a quick and easy tool to conduct a thorough search for academic literature. Students can search across a variety of subjects and sources from one location, including academic publishers, professional associations, online repositories, institutions, and other websites. We show you how to maximize Google Scholar for student reserach projects.
Google Arts and Culture
Google Arts and Culture is a collection of outstanding artworks from more than 2,000 museums and archives. It allows users to explore by specific museums’ collections or themes, and to filter by movement, artist, historical event, historical figure, medium, and more. We will show you tips and tools for integrating this resource into your classroom.

Google Earth
One of the coolest technological resources for in-person or online learning in the classroom is Google Earth. Since its debut in 2005, Google Earth has developed into more than simply a mapping tool and is now used in classrooms all around the world for educational purposes. We will show you how you can use Google Earth in a variety of ways with your kids.
