Last week our department had the opportunity to host the Utah EdTechTeam Summit featuring Google for Education here in the Granite Education Center offices. Educators from Granite School District and all over the state convened for hands-on breakout sessions on improving student learning through the use of educational technology tools. The resources shared by the presenters are available by clicking through the schedule. Below we share some highlights, ideas, and resources from the conference shared on Twitter by some of the attendees.
I'm ready to spend two days geeking out and learning at the Utah #gafesummit @EdTechGSD

I will try new things. Learn. Unlearn. Relearn. I will be okay with messy learning! #gafesummit #gsdedtech
— Krystal Plott (@missplott) June 17, 2016
I will…focus on teaching around the idea that technology is a mindset, not a skill set. #gafesummit

I will "share my work" not "show my work". What a different perspective. @gafesummit
— Misty Butterfield (@mbutterfield) June 17, 2016
I will help others understand that tmaking mistakes trying something new is learning!#gafesummit#gsdedtech

Help students learn how to take risks and think creatively #20time #thebadideafactory #gafesummit

Switch things up – ask students to generate bad ideas. Get them thinking – not censoring themselves.#gafesummit #20time @brookhouser
