Potential "Game Changer" in Google Apps Presentations

As you know, Google updates many of its applications frequently throughout the year. However, one tool that has seemed to go unchanged is Google Presentations, until yesterday!

While everyone was busy celebrating Star Wars Day, Google released its new Q&A feature.

To help you understand how this new feature works, Jonathan Redeker, a fellow Technology Integration Specialist, and U.S. History and Government teacher from the Goshen Central School District, has shared his screencast demonstrating how this tool can be a potential "game changer" for student engagement.

It just keeps getting better....

Google Classroom has added yet another small, but effective enhancement for teachers! Now you can SCHEDULE your posts for a certain time and date instead of immediately sharing with students or saving to your drafts.


There were so many teachers that we work with who wanted this feature to be there, and now it is.  Looks like Google is listening closely to your needs, so please continue to share your thoughts on their help desk.
