District 64's popular Parent University will kick off the 2017-18 offerings on Thursday, September 7, 2017 with G Suite for Education. The program will be held from 6:30 - 8 p.m. at Carpenter School (Learning Resource Center), 300 N. Hamlin, Park Ridge.
G Suite (formerly known as Google Apps for Education) has become an integral part of District 64's learning ecosystem. Students at all grade levels use this powerful productivity tool in their learning environments. In this session, parents/guardians and adult community members will learn about Google Drive, how it works, and the awesome suite of apps students use to be creative, to think critically, to communicate to a variety of audiences, and to practice collaboration skills. The basics of G Suite will be reviewed and some of the great ways G Suite is being used for student learning will be highlighted.
The free program is presented by District 64's Instructional Technology Coaches Angel Villarreal (Franklin School) and Kevin Michael (Carpenter School), and is targeted for parents of students at all grade levels.
