My OETC 2017 Sessions

I am excited and honored to once again present at the Ohio Educational Technology Conference (OETC 2017) in Columbus this February 14th through 16th.

I always look forward to this opportunity to see old friends, make new friends, share some ideas, and learn so many new things from others.

Below is a list of sessions I will be presenting at OETC 2017, along with any associated resources. Please feel free to join me for any of these sessions. I look forward to sharing, learning, and chatting with you!

My Sessions:

ITIP Ohio - OETC 2017 Google Slam

Beyond the Slideshow: Unleashing Student Creativity with Google Slides
Wednesday Feb 15th - 3:45PM - Location: Union Station 3
Session resources: ControlAltAchieve.com/slides
Description: We all know Google Slides is a great tool for making multimedia slideshows. But did you know it can also be used to make "Choose Your Own Adventure" style stories, interactive quizzes, online comic strips, and storybooks? With the ability to link to specific slides and go to different slides depending on the choice, students can create online interactive stories. And with the many graphics tools in Google Slides, students can create online comic strips and tell stories, express understanding of content, give reports, and be creative. Learn how students can use Google Slides to express themselves in more ways than just a presentation.
