Creating with Chrome
At the Krause Center for Innovation
April 27 & 28, 2019 9:00am to 3:30pm
More and more, schools are using Chromebooks in the classroom, and the Chrome browser has been a revolutionary tool for school. The beauty of using Chrome is that any device can run this browser, allowing students to easily and affordably be creative and engaged learners. Conversely, many teachers find themselves falling into the routine of just using Chrome as a way for students to access GSuite and browse the web. This two-day workshop will show how teachers can maximize Chrome or Chromebooks to have students shift from being simple consumers to becoming phenomenal creators.
