High-level inquiry begins where Google ends. When answers are easily found, the friction required for critical thinking is lost. This session challenges you to rethink the way you ask questions and design lessons. We will explore how to weave curiosity, context, and a little chaos into your lessons—stacking Depth and Complexity icons to transform standalone questions into high-level, layered, divergent logic.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will discover the power of micro mentor texts—short, high-impact excerpts that bridge the gap between reading analysis and writing application. By unearthing the gems hidden within diverse, rich texts, educators will empower students to deconstruct an author’s craft and immediately replicate those moves to produce polished, high-caliber work.
This interactive "plan and learn" session will guide participants through a range of time saving shortcuts in Google Sheets. The session will include foundational tips (including some familiar tools and a few you may not have discovered yet)and then progress to more lesser-known shortcuts including learning and applying the one formula that will save your valuable time.
