PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Used CSE for lower grades to ensure easy to find info on search. Higher grades can even create there own for projects, etc. #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Last time I tried it, it was clunky. Looking to try it again with fresh ideas #gafechat

jisd_inst_tech Jun 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Had Ss create their own custom searches to show results of research; Tt use them to help students focus on topic. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Still haven't used..but considering using them to teach digital citizenship. Want Ss to look at specific sites for the info #gafechat

alicebarr Jun 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@PHausTech Do you have an example of how you use with staff. Great idea! #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Create search w/ 3 real & 1 fake site. https://t.co/qV5d4pLHIA Ss use the CRAAP method https://t.co/caQuoPMoj7 to evaluate #gafechat

MrStevenKerr Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1:Help out Ss who have little experience searching for items or Ss who get overwhelmed easily #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@ericcurts Good idea. How does that compare to links in a Google Doc? Curious. #gafechat

MsMarshallCMS Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Mostly reading and hopefully getting some new ideas from #gafechat Heather, middle school teacher from San Francisco Bay Area.

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

What a great idea! I never thought of using CSE it for PD sites. Brilliant! #gafechat https://t.co/UMKmu8DPqo

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: CSE can also be powerful and useful on PD sites to help staff locate resources more easily. #gafechat

camatthews Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

CSE would keep sts on track, not sidetracked, give them good sites to start with #gafechat

jisd_inst_tech Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@LISDTechie That's a great idea for evaluating online sources! #gafechat

SCross1989 Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1. Plan on using CSE for guided research next year. I think it would make an AWESOME differentiation tool. #gafechat

sstc1219 Jun 21 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1. Custom Search Engine=so cool! Direct S searches to specific sites, have them identify reliable vs un before indept. research #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 We use it to prevent yahoo answers from invading our research. We have to rope off some of the internet for accuracy. #gafechat

ericcurts Jun 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@sallyhoyt Basically a one-stop-shop to let them search for images without needing to go to different public domain image sites #gafechat

AHamiltonCUSD Jun 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Q1: Haven't used it, but intrigued. Helpful to parents on the grade level site... #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@MrStevenKerr Great example for #UDL access #SPED #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Also going to encourage Ts to set CSE up for research so Ss can be using valid sites...might have Ss help pick the sites #gafechat

MsLiliReyna Jun 21 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 Will use it especially when science fair projects come around! #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 Had students search https://t.co/tcS9pawQb4 to show why we need accurate and valid search results. #gafechat

MichelleLinHo Jun 21 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Never used before, but I could see it being helpful during research projects to narrow their resources, to not overwhelm Ss #gafechat

A1. Also good for reading articles on specific topic, weeding out inappropriate results. Great for use in Google Clsrm or Edmodo #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@ericcurts It's pretty awesome. Recommend to any teacher focusing on internet research validity. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q2: How have you used or could you use Smarty Pins with students? https://t.co/gtty2KIjwK #gafechat https://t.co/ii8uUABCYs

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@MrHowardFMS That is fantastic! Have not seen this site before. Thx. #gafechat #spoof

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Smarty Pins is a fun game that Ss can use to help them find answers online. #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

I've used #smartypins to help teach search tactics to students. Learning proper search in a fun way = win/win. #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@LISDTechie Thanks! #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Smarty Pins is fun...not sure how to use it unless it was an ice-breaker team building type activity #gafechat

ericcurts Jun 21 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Test student knowledge / search skills for current events, history, geography, etc with Smarty Pins #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 I have only used SmartyPins to polish off the last few minutes of class when we have extra time. It's a very fun game though! #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@PHausTech That is a great idea! how to search the Qs your not sure about! LOVE IT! #gafechat

mbiehl1 Jun 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

My first time checking out #gafechat. So much great information already!

sstc1219 Jun 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 b. But in pairs, have one S research question and other locate pin then switch #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

It is great if you have the students use the 'choose a category' feature. Narrow down Q types #gafechat https://t.co/oJsUnXWn6N

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Smarty Pins is fun...not sure how to use it unless it was an ice-breaker team building type activity #gafechat

MsLiliReyna Jun 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 I'd also use it on a big screen and have student practice narrowing down search on their own chromebook. #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 I can see where you could use the questions to give students stems to practice researching answers. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@sstc1219 so true...want to be able to build my own as a formative assessment for Ss! That would be cool #gafechat

ryanrismiller Jun 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@ericcurts @MrHowardFMS I really like this. More in depth than just understanding the difference of .com, .net, .edu, or .gov #gafechat

AHamiltonCUSD Jun 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Fun! Could be a model for asking specific Q's about places to show what Ss know. Nice if Ss could make own. #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: The real power of #smartypins comes in for me in teaching search tips and strategies. Skills for lifelong learners. #gafechat

MichelleLinHo Jun 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: It would be great for students to work in teams to practice their soft skills and their researching abilities #gafechat

MrStevenKerr Jun 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2:It would be a great tool to introduce to our SS teachers and improve map skills #gafechat

jsm2272 Jun 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 I wonder if students could use SmartyPins as a model, and then create their own games in MyMaps based on curriculum? #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@ryanrismiller @ericcurts There are also so many domains out there now that its getting harder to tell what's legit. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@LISDTechie funny I spent the last 30 min doing that...my son was impressed by what trivia I know! #gafechat

polonerd Jun 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I played with it & it was fun, but I think it's more powerful for them to create their own maps in MyMaps https://t.co/hT3GsMSLqq #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@MrStevenKerr Some peeps at #fmsteach should get some use out of this. @RyanKrankowski @LMcDanielMEd @HyatesWagner @JEHoskins #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@polonerd I agree that there is power in Ss creating own maps, but there is also power in game play. #gafechat

camatthews Jun 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT

showed this to the HS SocSt teacher for his geog class, I might use it as an bell ring act for 6th gr #gafechat

AHamiltonCUSD Jun 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Example: "Located within SF, this place was and is home to many Chinese immigrants." (Easy one off the cuff- Chinatown) #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3: How have you used or could you use Constitute Project with students? https://t.co/6J2r8DakAu #gafechat https://t.co/XXa2JG2sOt

polonerd Jun 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@LISDTechie Is there an ability to create our own SmartyPins? #gafechat

jisd_inst_tech Jun 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Most of the Tt I work with prefer MyMaps because they can connect directly to curriculum. #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Never played it before tonight, but it's fun and easy to enter into! #gafechat https://t.co/j1Afs1XEBH

ericcurts Jun 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: Compare and contrast different country constitutions on specific topics like religion, elections, rights, etc. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@polonerd Not that I am aware of. #gafechat

jisd_inst_tech Jun 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Have heard of it but never gone into it. I'm interested to know more to share with Tt. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@LISDTechie @polonerd and when you can drill down on the map to get RIGHT THERE that is so fun for Ss #gafechat

ryanrismiller Jun 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: is there a way to create your own game? I can visualize a WW 2 unit. #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 In my ELA classes I could see doing some compare and contrast exercises with it. #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Have Constitute much to this point. Seems great for history, english, etc. Trace historical connections. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Constitute Project is perfect for students to compare different constitutions from various countries #gafechat

MsLiliReyna Jun 21 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 Powerful lesson in democracy. #gafechat

MrStevenKerr Jun 21 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3:As a former Gov T, this would be great to compare our rights to other countries and create higher levels of thinking by Ss #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

https://t.co/Fz4vsjJ8Ay definitely seems like something our peeps in #sschat should know about. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Heard about it a while ago, but never explored it. #gafechat

SCross1989 Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3. Constitute Project is awesome for broadening Ss world views and awareness. It helps create responsible global citizens. #gafechat

jsm2272 Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Did you know there was a Constitute Project? I had no idea! #gafechat https://t.co/cZRfKovsHU https://t.co/8HZkmkPzEG

BillBlackRI Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 - Great way to have students collaborate while writing on google docs! #gafechat

MichelleLinHo Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 It'd be interesting for Ss to make notices and wonderings. Wording in the documents is high for 3rd grade Ss #gafechat

polonerd Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@ryanrismiller Looks like you have to use MyMaps to create something like that. #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@ryanrismiller Definitely think you could do some cool themes with this tool, but I am unsure if you can create your own Qs #gafechat

alicebarr Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: This would be amazing in world history to compare/contrast what different countries believe in. #gafechat

sstc1219 Jun 21 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3. Great for compare/contrast in specific regions or w/USA. Global awareness, and connection to writing classroom constitution. #gafechat

AHamiltonCUSD Jun 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Above 4th grade, but useful to show dates of constitutions and similarities in sec's/headings. Want state version! #gafechat

polonerd Jun 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@alicebarr We're starting an AP class for Culture & Geography this would work really well with. #gafechat

BillBlackRI Jun 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 - Allows students to read, analyze and compare around Constitutions all around the world. #gafechat What's better than that?

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Have students create a timeline on various countries and when their constitution was adopted #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 Definitely something interesting to consider as 21st century classrooms become more globalized. Great background. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:25 PM EDT

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Would be fun during World History to comp/con the const of the countries you study. Could do a great visual in your class too #gafechat

sstc1219 Jun 21 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3. The revision dates interesting to use as q&a for what might have been going on at time of change. #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Pop the text of 2 country's const. into a word cloud to compare text. Then dig in to actual text. #gafechat

A4: Use Story Builder to retell/modernize a portion of a story/play/book #gafechat

ericcurts Jun 21 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: Use Story Builder for Ss to show editing/correcting a writing passage #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: Love story builder...but mine all seem lame. Still trying to get Ts to use it with Ss! #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@MichelleLinHo True. Notice and Wonder would allow diff abilities to access high level text. Then move to a diff source. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4: Tip for Story Builder - create it on a Google Doc & copy/paste - if you make a mistake you can't edit it once created. #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4: Have seen #StoryBuilder used to retell/modernize a conversation in history. #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4 I've used it as a way for a S to summarize a relationship between two characters in a book. #gafechat

@abbyfredrickson Definitely a new twist on a book report or book talk. #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@abbyfredrickson Interesting! Do you have an example you could share? #gafechat

MrStevenKerr Jun 21 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4:It would be great for Ss to show what they have learned through a unit by comparing ppl and/or characters #gafechat

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: @DMSArmstrong @GarthHolman - You could use Storybuilder w/ LA to write historical 1st person narratives. #gafechat

AHamiltonCUSD Jun 21 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@MichelleLinHo Also for historical perspectives! Native Americans vs. Missionaries #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jun 21 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5 Good for a current events class #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5: #GoogleTrends is a great tool for researching current events and as a launching point for discussion, projects, etc. #gafechat

MrStevenKerr Jun 21 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5: Great for current events and show can help bring some material in in class that Ss can relate to #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5: Great way for students to compare trends from various countries #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: Great for getting real data to work with...and if they get to pick the "topic" Ss will enjoy the activities more #gafechat

MsLiliReyna Jun 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5 We read Time4Kids. What a great way to dig deeper into current events. Could be a wellspring for a genius project. #gafechat

ericcurts Jun 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: Compare current events between countries to see what different countries see as important #gafechat

nicholasnewton5 Jun 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: trends could be used to pick a topic of their interest. Keep up with current events. Pick one to solve #fps #gafechat

SCross1989 Jun 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5. Google trends would be great for helping students who are struggling with research write guiding questions. #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5 It's fun to do stuff like look up a sports team and draw conclusions about why some trend more than others. #gafechat

nicholasnewton5 Jun 21 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5 they're also good mentor texts #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@LISDTechie was just thinking the maps really show where "issues" are active #gafechat

AHamiltonCUSD Jun 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: Deeper und. of "trend"/Changes Over Time (depth & complexity icon) #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5 One thing that would be cool to do is the create the narrative of the trend line. Answer the Q "Why is it going up/down here?" #gafechat

ryanrismiller Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Had a T that would often ask about current events and what mattered to others, this would have been the quick resource #gafechat

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Relevant and powerful way to demonstrate "change over time" for Ss. Use inference skills to discuss why change occured. #gafechat

sstc1219 Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5. Journalism class, looking at types of info trending most, least. Argumentative wrtg, q portion great for claim, counterclaim #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Do you know if Trends is similar to https://t.co/Hgb263AvyB? Seems a bit too much for 5th grade. #gafechat

jsm2272 Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 I think it would be interesting to consider what info is missing, or who's voice is missing. e.g. Why only 5 categories? #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Do you know if Trends is similar to https://t.co/b2lLlOjOPq? Seems a bit too much for 5th grade. #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 Would definitely take some research to see why the term spiked and fell. Have the student research and write about it. #gafechat

MichelleLinHo Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 Great for raising global awareness with our Ss. I could see it sparking some deeper convos #gafechat

ericcurts Jun 21 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Look for correlations between different search terms over time & theorize what the connection is #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Great idea for using Google Trends https://t.co/PLnxnQnrsE with students #gafechat https://t.co/taUH4UxmfB

MsMarshallCMS Jun 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT

How is Tour Builder different from my maps? #gafechat

BrantonTech Jun 21 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6B:This would be a great ice breaker coming back and have Ss explain where they went this summer, or wanted to go if went nowhere #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jun 21 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MrHowardFMS I did a My Map of the places we connected with this year. I love the idea of using Tour Builder! #gafechat

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6 Ss can walk the steps of historical figures and tell their story by using map in a "thinglinkesque" way. #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: #TourBuilder is also great for outlining field trips for those that can't come / parents. #culturalinstitute can enhance this. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MsMarshallCMS It puts it in a "story like timeline" (lack of better words). You move through it like a story #gafechat

SCross1989 Jun 21 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6. Tour Builder is great for exposing students to places/cultures they may have never known otherwise. #gafechat

Q7: How have you used or could you use Google Spaces with students? https://t.co/8YlYSWyXcd #gafechat https://t.co/8zJr7O2oEe

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6 We have 8th graders each year who can't go on the class DC trip. They could research & build their own, learn along the way. #gafechat

MichelleLinHo Jun 21 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6 Would be fun to use to hook students into a new unit (ex: biomes) #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jun 21 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A7 Ohhh, I have not seen this before! #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@tishrich Unfortunately, Tour Builder doesn't play on iPads. At least it didn't last time I checked. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@sstc1219 Could do the major battles of almost any war...trace the lives of inventors/scientisits/explorers so many uses #gafechat

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

.@tishrich No, tourbuilder doesn't work on iPads. But MyMaps does. Similar tool. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7: Google Spaces is perfect for students working on a group project together - esp if Google+ is blocked #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jun 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 I am guessing this is like a message board? So you could have book clubs here. #gafechat

MsLiliReyna Jun 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@tchrl8t check out more @doink . Stay tuned I will post .:) #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 I have used Groups but not Spaces. Excited to learn more about how it works. #gafechat

alicebarr Jun 21 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@LISDTechie DO you have SPACES working in your GAFE domain? #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Q7: #GoogleSpaces is good for group work & organizing resources in one place to share. Starting point for a project/discussion. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7: Haven't played with this yet. Don't think our GAFE admins turned it on. #gafechat

camatthews Jun 21 @ 9:50 PM EDT

this is new to me,will have to check it out #gafechat

MichelleLinHo Jun 21 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 It would be great to have a space with my 3rd grade team, collect resources, share, discuss, all in one spot #gafechat

MsLiliReyna Jun 21 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 I'm just happy to glean all I can from @ericcuts 's GSpaces! #gafechat

sstc1219 Jun 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7. Would be great for building a historical biography. ie Amelia Earhart, gathering resources in one space is powerful #gafechat

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7 We played with Spaces a bit at ITIP Google Summit on release day! Still wrapping my head around how to use w/ Ss. #gafechat

MrHowardFMS Jun 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7 Sounds like a good collab tool. I am wondering if it could be used to facilitate small groups/lit circles. #gafechat

PHausTech Jun 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Q7: #GoogleSpaces can be a great collaborative brainstorming tool. #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@PHausTech so Keep on steroids? #gafechat

BrantonTech Jun 21 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A7- group projects and group discussions would work great with Google Spaces #gafechat

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7 Trying to figure out what features it has that give it a niche over shared folder or Google Keep. #gafechat

alicebarr Jun 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: Spaces would be great for collecting resources on research topics, but also those resources could be shared between students #gafechat

sallyhoyt Jun 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: How is Spaces diff than Keep? #gafechat

mbswoods Jun 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@PHausTech can docs be shared through this as well? #gafechat

MsMarshallCMS Jun 21 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7 I love Google spaces for collaborative planning with other Ts. Using now to create a #hyperdoc w 2 Ts I've never met. #gafechat

ryanrismiller Jun 21 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@mbswoods In the same boat, knew about Google groups but no access to this resource #gafechat

MrStevenKerr Jun 21 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7:I think this would be a cool idea for Ss to present info to other Ss where they can take notes and review if they missed things #gafechat

RhondaLuetje Jun 21 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7 Is Google Spaces open in GAFE yet? Or is it just not open in my domain? #gafechat

MsLiliReyna Jun 21 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@MsMarshallCMS Wow! Who's Space? #gafechat

MsMarshallCMS Jun 21 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7 I've come across many Ts who say @google spaces is blocked for students. Not sure why. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jun 21 @ 9:57 PM EDT
