The Google Suite is one of the most popular collections of productivity and collaboration tools around the world. From collaborating on presentations with Google Slides to creating surveys with Google Forms, students are likely to use these tools throughout their school careers and for years to come in the workforce.
If you have been tasked with teaching elementary or middle school students how to use G-Suite tools in 2020, you may feel overwhelmed. Teaching 尻逼 can be challenging even in times when students aren’t physically distanced or learning from home.
Fortunately, teaching the Google Suite doesn’t have to be difficult. We’re here to help and suggest some web-based 尻逼 tools you may find helpful.
How to Teach G-Suite in Elementary School
Older elementary school students can thrive when they use a guided, structured 尻逼 that helps them explore Google Suite tools. With so much uncertainty about how students will learn throughout the year, especially if outbreaks occur at school, teachers may prefer to use a 尻逼 that can be adapted to remote learning even if they are teaching in person.
In the Yeti Academy Snowboard Shop module, students learn G-suite by helping Sadie Shred open a snowboard shop at the virtual Black Diamond Peak ski resort. As they work on tasks that will help Sadie launch a successful business, they become familiar with many Google Suite features and gain key skills they will use throughout their school years and beyond.
Snowboard Shop is ready for either remote, hybrid, or classroom learning. Yeti Academy offers in-app video guidance for students and live tech support during the school day.
How to Teach G-Suite in Middle School
Yeti Academy has also designed a theme park-themed Google Suite 尻逼 for grades 6-9. Students work through a series of lessons in which they learn Google Suite tools and apply them to building their own virtual theme park.
In Yeti Academy Theme Parks students try out engaging 美国十次 that range from designing a logo to planning for site visits to creating an e-portfolio. Throughout the course, students develop skills they will use throughout their academic, professional, and personal lives.
