Dream Out Loud (GTA Part 1)

It's hard to sum up the GTA in a blog post. The day is long, fast paced and jam packed with information. I heard several people describe the curriculum as a fire hose and that's a pretty accurate comparison. The agenda for the day can be viewed here and I keep referring back to refresh my memory and access resources. 

A Group Of Us In The Super-Hero Themed Google Earth Break-Out Session

Meeting and collaborating with 49 other like-minded educators was pretty incredible. The enthusiasm and energy throughout the day was contagious and everyone was eager to share ideas. 

Fifty Brand New Google Certified Teachers (Plus a Few Lead Learners). 
We worked really hard all day and learned, and had discussions and presented and learned some more. We participated in a Google + hang-out with GCTs located all over the country. We shared documents, watched and edited YouTube videos and collaborated on a Google map. The lead learners (formerly certified Google educators) stayed with us all day - answering questions, giving us ideas and one of the highlights of the day presenting Google Demo SLAMS! 
The learning was constant - fast and furious.
