A4a: I turn to #dojochat. I pretty much am the tech person at our school, so it's usually others coming to me.

TheBrudneyBunch Jan 25 @ 7:45 PM EST

A4: Also, Twitter chats help me learn about new technology, not just Google. #dojochat

gandalfwho Jan 25 @ 7:46 PM EST

How do you choose which G Suite Apps to focus on with kids with little/no tech practice beyond cat videos on YouTube? #dojochat

oodlesofteach Jan 25 @ 7:46 PM EST

Twitter chats are great learning opportunities. You chat right along, watch, or read the Storify later! #dojochat

I started with Google Forms because I was most familiar with that app at the time. #dojochat

In reply to @gandalfwho

TheBrudneyBunch Jan 25 @ 7:48 PM EST

Yes! I love jumping in and asking questions. In person, it's a little harder for me to muster up the courage! #dojochat

Start with having them sign onto google. That's the first step...#dojochat

@gandalfwho docs and slides bc the toolbars are simple & they can be used for tons of activities #dojochat

jellison23 Jan 25 @ 7:49 PM EST

SUCH a big step for the littles! But so powerful! I can't wait to hear from our middle schools when they see how tech savvy our kids are!

Q5 What advice would you give to a #Google Educator newbie? #dojochat

MPunzenberger Jan 25 @ 7:49 PM EST

#dojochat

gandalfwho Jan 25 @ 7:50 PM EST

@MrsFoxs3rdgrade ...but scaffolding the learning is a huge battle when they just want to look up Google Images. #dojochat

In reply to @oodlesofteach, @MrsFoxs3rdgrade

TheBrudneyBunch Jan 25 @ 7:50 PM EST

A5: Advice I want to give myself is to start small w/Google. Use one app I feel comfortable with, & build from there. #dojochat

TheBrudneyBunch Jan 25 @ 7:51 PM EST

A5: I'm very much of a Google newbie, in case you couldn't tell! haha #dojochat

MrsFoxs3rdgrade Jan 25 @ 7:51 PM EST

A5: Start with one ap and go from there. #dojochat

TheBrudneyBunch Jan 25 @ 7:51 PM EST

How did you start? #dojochat

In reply to @MrsFoxs3rdgrade

MrsFoxs3rdgrade Jan 25 @ 7:51 PM EST

Absolutely; they should have a task or direction when using Google #dojochat

In reply to @gandalfwho, @oodlesofteach

bnelsonteaches Jan 25 @ 7:51 PM EST

A5 don't get overwhelmed! Just pick one app at a time to master. Also, don't be afraid to ask the kids for help. They're naturals #dojochat

gandalfwho Jan 25 @ 7:52 PM EST

@oodlesofteach Most are able to log in now, w/o MAJOR issues. Just curious what others have done. =) #dojochat

A5 You learn by doing with tech -- just jump in and try it yourself. the world won't explode. #dojochat

MPunzenberger Jan 25 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5: One of the wonderful things about GSuites is that once you learn one, you can easily learn the rest (or easier) #dojochat

oodlesofteach Jan 25 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5. Don't be afraid to experiment and don't worry when it doesn't work the first time. #dojochat

MrsFoxs3rdgrade Jan 25 @ 7:52 PM EST

I took a Google Apps class in the summer offered from a teacher I work with; #dojochat

In reply to @TheBrudneyBunch

oodlesofteach Jan 25 @ 7:53 PM EST

Yes, so many features are the same. #Google Suites is very user friendly #dojochat

In reply to @MPunzenberger

gandalfwho Jan 25 @ 7:53 PM EST

A5: Ask the kids what they can show you how to do. I've been surprised at some of what a few of them know. Then I have backup. #dojochat

jellison23 Jan 25 @ 7:53 PM EST

Our district assigned gmail accounts based on: firstname.lastnameDOB They don't know their last name and many have 2 last names #dojochat

MPunzenberger Jan 25 @ 7:50 PM EST

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Serious struggle fest over here tonight.

@gandalfwho I use google classroom to keep them focused. Once they're in we close all the other tabs #dojochat

In reply to @gandalfwho

gandalfwho Jan 25 @ 7:54 PM EST

Had some similar issues here too. Or they don't know how to spell last name or when DOB is. #dojochat

In reply to @jellison23

jellison23 Jan 25 @ 7:55 PM EST

Our school is 98% second lang leaners so traditionally they have two last names -- and one is a name they have NEVER heard #dojochat

Do you mean you just communicate through Classroom with them? What about if they're researching a topic? #dojochat

In reply to @bnelsonteaches

bnelsonteaches Jan 25 @ 7:55 PM EST

Omg the logins are the worst! Ours are last name and a 6 digit id number. It's definitely rough for 1 & 2 graders #dojochat

jellison23 Jan 25 @ 7:55 PM EST

The domain is the EASIEST part! #dojochat

MrsFoxs3rdgrade Jan 25 @ 7:54 PM EST

Ours are their first name and last initial for their email. We have a google domain for our school.

Can you do login cards for the students? or @smithstrws did qr codes to login. Will that work? #dojochat

In reply to @jellison23, @smithstrws

MrsFoxs3rdgrade Jan 25 @ 7:57 PM EST

that's the part my Ss struggle with; many can't spell the town we live in.....#dojochat

In reply to @jellison23

oodlesofteach Jan 25 @ 7:57 PM EST

I used login cards for my students. #dojochat

In reply to @MrsFoxs3rdgrade, @jellison23, @smithstrws

jellison23 Jan 25 @ 7:58 PM EST

Yes, but I also teach the whole school so it can be time consuming -- gratefully all but 2nd grade can log in #dojochat

I love that once you log in many of the sites I use with kids like @Newsela allow the kids to sign in with their Google Account. #dojochat

they need pattern logins; three pictures! #dojochat
