10 links you should click (June 2020)

10 helpful links you should visit!

As part of my daily routine, I scan dozens of blogs, visit a handful of Facebook groups and skim through Twitter. The goal: find the most helpful resources, tools, and articles that I can share with my teacher friends (that’s you!)

Here are my top 10 links for June 2020!

  1. 2020 Level 1 Google Educator Exam ReviewI just took the Level 1 Google Educator Exam – Hear about my experience and learn about some important changes to the test. 
  2. Turning paper assignments into digital activities – Assignments that were designed for printing, don’t always translate well into digital activities. Here’s a look at how I redesigned a paper assignment into a remote learning activity. 
  3. How virtual desks could change the way you work – Chromebooks have a feature called “virtual desks.” Tech writer JR Raphael shares how virtual desks have improved his productivity. 
  4. Teach with Tech virtual conference – This is a very well run virtual conference that features a great line up of speakers. Get full access for only $20! I am offering an advanced Google Classroom session.
  5. Ctrl Alt Achieve Book by Eric CurtsNew Book: Control Alt Achieve – My friend Eric Curts (@ericcurts) has a new book that is filled with ideas for using Google Drive in the classroom.
  6. New Gmail layout options – The latest Gmail update will make it easier to adjust the look and layout of your inbox. 
  7. Rejoice! The NEW Google Groups has arrived – The updated version of Google Groups is out of beta and will be available for rapid release domains on June 9. 
  8. Shared Drive folder sharing now in beta – Google is looking for users to beta test a new folder sharing option in shared drives.
  9. Manage your calendar in the side panel – about a year ago Google introduce the side panel that gives you quick access to Calendar, Keep, and Tasks. You can now edit and manage your calendar directly from the side panel.
  10. Five NEW features for Google Meet (coming soon) – Google is hard at work building some pretty cool new features for Google Meet.
