Google Camp for Beginners & Intermediates
This summer’s Google Camp will be an interactive experience where we help you learn all the things YOU want to know how to do with Google. But to do that, we need some info from you about what you want to do. We will follow an unconference format by tailoring our sessions to what you already can do and what you need to know. For our planning purposes, please register by completing the form below by May 31, 2018.
June 18, 2018: 8:30 am - 12 pm
**Google Camp will be held at Lambert High School. More details will be emailed to participants who register via the form.**
NOTE: All are welcome, but please note that this experience will be focused on Beginner and Intermediate level Google users in the classroom.

Updates in itslearning
- PDFs will now open in a faster viewer, meaning that Word Online will no longer be used to open a PDF.
- Homework will now be marked with the Homework icon, rather than just an H.
If you have any questions about any of these, please let me know!
