Hi I'm Richard Byrne and welcome to this video interview with Ernie Delgado and
Malia Hoffmann and we're going to talk about G Suite for education and
Chromebooks and their role in your classroom and what you can do to get
ready to use them in your classroom so Malia let's talk about G suite for
education typically when people hear G Suite for education I think a lot of
them think of Google Docs and maybe Google slides and they think it's really
do I need to go to a training for this what else can I do besides Docs and
slides yeah well as you know Docs is the flagship of the G suite so it's more G suit
is more than just docs (Wisconsin accent here) and slides it definitely covers using Google Forms
using some of the chrome extension add-ons and looking at using sites and
extensions and just really embracing the full suite that Google has to offer and
not just looking at Google Docs but looking at hyper Docs and how to make
those documents much more rich and personalized to what you're doing in
your classroom and also just embracing some of the templates that other
teachers and other people have made and to make your documents come to life and
just have a little bit more you know creativity and flair to that to what
you're doing so look used to use a term that's become quite popular in the last
year hyper Docs if I if you want to explain it to a teacher in 30 seconds as
you're walking down the hallway what's a hyper doc yeah well a hyper doc
is essentially a Google Doc but what it has in it is a lot of references and
resources to other documents so it can be to other Google suite Docs and
activities that you've already created for your students or it can be links to
things outside on the web or resources you can embed some videos and just make
it a live like living document that allows students a much more rich
learning experience than just you know like in moving an analog piece
of paperwork sheet on to a document that's on the web so you're really
opening up a whole new world of possibilities that we didn't have before
with with our standard word processing document and it's I mean it's almost
like a real basic version of a website on it in a way but it's not quite so
intimidating for a teacher who may not have those advanced tech skills to want
to build a website but it allows them to link and have all of their resources in
one spot and these are things you can do kind of regardless of whether you have a
Chromebook in your classroom or you're using using an older laptop in your
classroom correct right I mean you can even do it on tablets it's not as easy I
in my opinion but laptops and Chromebooks work the same in my opinion
for anything of the G Suite applications fantastic so Ernie, we were talking
before we started recording about the emergence of G suite and Chromebooks in
schools and you were expressing that you're you kind of bet on Chromebooks in
G suite and emerging in the in the marketing so you were you were you're
let's say a profit in this a in this area if you will yes I am where we were
early adopters and I will say it wasn't exactly our idea or goal to do that we
were working with the school in South Orange County and that school actually
was the early adopter and they I showed up and asked the principal to share her
technology plan with me and we walked down the hallway she opened a classroom
and there were 300 Chromebooks in boxes sitting there and as a consultant you
know I she was all in with Chromebooks I couldn't talk her into something else so
we quickly had to figure out how to apply those to her school which meant
helping her to become a Google School and get connected that way with her
classrooms and then we had to provide the training support and the resources
to make sure that the Chromebooks you know made a difference in the classroom
if you remember you know you know four or five years ago it was iPad was the
rage so this was really against the trend back then the good news is we
ended up doing a case study a year later about a year and a half later and one of
the things that jumped out from this case study is that students felt way
more organized and it's all about the cloud things were where they were
supposed to be as Malia just mentioned they could go home on their tablet or PC
computer and get to their documents they could be at school on their Chromebook
and have access it was where they it was supposed to be and it made a lot of
difference to kids and teachers and what's happening now is now we're at the
next generation and it's evolving with classroom it you know this paperless
workflow that we've always talked about in technology and you know I've been in
this industry almost 25 years it created more paper of anything now we are
finally seeing workflows that are paperless and it works
teachers love it students love it parents love it it's what we've always
hoped for with technology thank you Google!!
so now just as an adopted from an adoption standpoint you know if I'm the
school principal and I'm walking down the hallway there and I say to all my
staff hey next year we're all gonna have Chrome you're all gonna have Chromebooks
in your classroom there's gonna be a teacher or - who's gonna be little bit
reluctant about making that making that change what do you say in Ernie or Malia
either way you can ask this what do you say to that that teacher says I'm a
little reluctant about this change I don't I don't trust this Chromebook to
not lose all of my all my work that I've been doing for 20 years in lesson
planning or I or I don't feel like I need to make this shift into hyper doc
what's wrong with with what I've been doing what do you say to those people
well I guess what I would say to them is to just give it a try but they don't
have to make the leap all in right away but to just try it with a few things and
so everyone adopts technology at a different level and if they're a little
bit reluctant and insecure about completely changing over
to soaring everything in the cloud they don't have to do that right away but I
would say that the best thing to do is offer him some training and to alleviate
those fears that's because it's the fear of the unknown if I could add on to what
Malia just said your scenario Richard is not theoretical this is happening today
principals are making decisions they're going chrome they're going Chromebooks
and it's happening and teachers are having to react this is the main reason
why we developed our training program is that the this you know it's the although
Google G suite is much easier than other environments I've experienced it's still
requires training from the high level to the low level teacher you need to
understand these tools but it's the the learning curve is not that dramatic if
you have someone really smart like a dr. Malia Hoffman walking you through some
of these different things and giving you real world example examples of how they
work you're able to communicate live with her you know it really does break
down that learning curve it and I've seen some teachers that spent a lot of
time watching free videos there's a lot of free resources out there and they
still don't quite get it you know they might have the video might have been
obsolete you know Google every time you turn on your Chromebook it gets better
it's constantly changing you know gettng and getting better and Jesus lead along
with it he went from Google Docs to Google Apps to get Google Apps education
and now it's G suite even the name changes so teachers uh you
know if they put a little bit of time and they have the right resources in the
right trainer they can get up to speed very quickly so speaking of training you
have a training event coming up in just a few weeks from now and Palm Springs
you're still accepting signups for it Malia you wanna tell us a little bit
about what teachers can expect or principals if they want to come well
they definitely the training is actually meant to be very personalized so what
we've done is once you register we send you an interest inventory to find out
what your level is what your comfort is and then we've offered up about fifteen
different options of potential sessions that we will
and we're going to just ask you like what are you interested in learning more
about and so that way we can really tailor it to your needs and what what
you want and what you need and the idea is for you to bring in content that you
are working through in your classroom to bring it in so we can work with you on
developing that and building it into rich lessons for your students for great
collaboration fantastic and in Ernie or Malia where where can folks go to to
