G Suite accounts include Google Sheets, a powerful tool for teachers and administrators. This course will focus on how Sheets can powerfully impact daily administrative workflow of educators and student digital skills acquisition. By learning to use Sheets to support instruction, teachers will be able to easily pull together student data and use it to differentiate assignments, improve the quality and timeliness of the feedback they provide to their students, and create student-centered activities. Participants will also learn to use Sheets to streamline tracking, reporting, intervention, and personalized communication tasks that make for a responsive and supportive classroom.

Participants who successfully complete the course will demonstrate the ability to use Google Sheets to manage classroom workflow and differentiate instruction, and will write a content-specific, age-appropriate lesson plan about Google Sheets.

Prerequisite:
Successful enrollment in this course assumes that teachers have GAFE accounts and devices for use with their students in the classroom context. Teachers without GAFE/G Suite accounts should obtain permission from their school leader and/or work with technology staff at their school to set up a pilot domain and student accounts for their school and/or classroom. Class time will not be used to directly support the setup of a GAFE domain, however Google offers free online resources and and phone-support to assist with this process. To accomplish the objectives of this course, participants must have regular access to a computer or tablet, and Internet connectivity with sufficient bandwidth to accommodate the use of Google’s browser-based and/or mobile applications.
