Google Reboot Debrief

4/19/2013

On Friday, April 12th, Google Certified Teachers and Trainers were invited to come back to Google NYC for a GCT Reboot to find out about the latest and greatest happenings with Google technologies in education. In this hangout, Reboot attendees Alice Barr, John Calvert, Jesse Lubinsky and Jennifer Cronk discussed the event in detail. We were particularly lucky to have Alice join us as she was one of the organizers of this year's GCT Reboot. Overall we were so happy with how GCT Reboot 2013 turned out and simply can not wait for the next one!

"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

What can I say? I love the Tech Expo just that much. Second in my mind only to going to Google on one of the Google Certified Teacher events, (Yeah! next week!) the LHRIC's Tech Expo has become one of those events that is a "must" for many of us in the Hudson Valley.

This year promises to be as, if not more, significant for our learning and personal growth. The LHRIC has secured both @YongZhaoUO / Dr. Yong Zhao, and @karlfisch / Karl Fisch for this year's expo. Which is another reason why I am so excited, we have real faces and voices behind the well-known Ed Tech names we see so often on Twitter and blogs. And should I even bother to mention the PowerPoint that will go down in infamy? "Did You Know?" I am sure Mr. Karl Fisch had no idea that the small presentation for faculty would be shown globally to motivate teachers and students.

I can not hear "Last of the Mohicans" with out remembering how moved I was by that presentation. So here it is, the original, because of even out of all the flashy 2 point oh (v 2.0, 3.0) the original is what was a game changer for me.

Please use our collaborative Google Doc to keep notes, NY TECH ED has inserted a table of contents to easily navigate to your session and share notes. See you at the conference!

So here it is, the presentation that changed how we all present:
