Sorry that I had to duck out early. I have experience with GSuite as we are a Google school. I’ve done a lot with EdTech tools as a coach, I also lead/oversee several STEAM programs (vex and frc robotics, maker/design thinking, XR). I run a lot of events and workshops, and am the Data Protection Officer for the School (early on in the journey toward compliance). Happy to chat about any and all of these things.

Fantastic Julia. Would you be willing to put together a quick 15-20 min presentation on any of these topics to share with the community at our next live session?

Hi Shannon,

I want to respect everyone’s time, I’d be happy to share about any of these things but which would people find most useful is the real question. I can talk about how we do tech integration in my context, or I can talk about different initiatives that people have an interest in. I think the most valuable thing I have to offer generally speaking is a breakdown/analysis of the different models of technology integration/support we’ve tried. That may also be the least directly applicable as it is highly contextual.
