Low Key PD Update
Low Key PD now has tutorials available for Google Docs, Google Forms, and Google Jamboard. The complete set of tutorials for Google Drawings will be available later in April, but you can catch a sneak-peek here.
Low Key PD is designed to provide easy to follow, video-based tutorials on the tools that you use everyday. Some videos are more detailed and last a bit longer, but most of the tutorials can be viewed in a passing period. You can find all of the Low Key PD videos on the Instructional Technology Coaching YouTube channel.
Google Has Been Busy
Ed Tech guru Eric Curts has posted a blog entry about all of the new updates Google has been working on that affect the Google tools you use everyday. As an added bonus, Eric has a terrific video explaining the Screencast App available to you on your chromebook.
