A great book to think about the possibilities of G Suite apps and extensions to support student learning

8 July 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book is one of few that begin with pedagogy: the "whys" that give context to the learning theories behind the ideas. It is not a book on learning theory, but rather consolidates big ideas that will support the Google infused tools throughout the rest of the book. In addition, the authors chose a small collection of 20 tools to support students in creating, communicating, and sharing what they have learned. It is not a step-by-step how-to of using the tools. It does give a clear explanation of what the tool is, why it is great, how easy or difficult the set up is for a teacher, what it allows for, the type of information you get using the tool, and how the tool can be used. As a director of instructional technology it pulls the instructional methods and tools into a single resource. I will use this as I work with teachers and provide the supports they need to make the ideas work in their classroom. The last section of the book is a guide to getting started with digital portfolios. This section gives teachers ideas to think about whether they choose to have students record the process they used in their learning, a showcase of their learning, or a hybrid of both. It is also a beautifully laid out and designed book as well. I believe I will be referring to this often as I support teachers with the G Suite of applications and extensions.

or to make my lessons better, more powerful

Have you ever read a book that totally transformed and enhanced your understanding of something? That is exactly how I felt after reading The Google Infused Classroom: A Guidebook to Making Thinking Visible and Amplifying Student Choice by Holly Clark and Tanya Avrith (2017). Not only did this book influence my philosophy of technology in the classroom, but it also provided the tools and theories I will need to assist my students in showing their thinking and demonstrating their learning. Clark and Avrith (2017) helped me reflect on my current practices when they posed the question: “Am I integrating technology for the sake of integrating technology, or to make my lessons better, more powerful, more collaborative, and easier to access from outside the classroom?” (p. 24). In the past I often felt pressure to “add” technology to my instruction, but instead of it enhancing the learning, it was only there for the sake of having technology. This past year, I dabbled with using technology more as a learning tool, and my students really benefited from it! They used it to research, collaborate and publish, but I still felt like I needed to know more. This book provides the tools for classroom teachers that want to make learning meaningful through technology.
The Google Infused Classroom is divided into two parts. One part explains the pedagogy, or the methods and practices of using technology to make thinking and learning visible. The pedagogy really dug deep into the how and why of implementing Clark’s and Avrith’s ideas. I needed this section to give me a picture of how I would use this in the classroom and why it will benefit my students. . The tools section explained the what by offering a list of crucial considerations when choosing a tool and a thorough explanation of the 20 tools that enhance student thinking and learning. This section will definitely be my “go to” when I am looking for the perfect tool/tools to enhance learning.
Throughout the book, Clark and Avrith (2017) support the four C’s: Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Community. They also explain two learning theories: Constructivism and Connectivism. Constructivism is the idea that students learn through their experiences and Connectivism is the idea that students gain knowledge through making connections. Both of these are strengths, but when Connectivism highlights learning through the way kids are connecting in the real world, so it is meaningful. These theories are prevalent in the authors’ three core ideas. Clark and Avarith (2017) believe that it is essential for students to show their thinking, each have a voice, and have an opportunity to share their work. When used correctly, technology has the power to enhance learning. Students have opportunities to learn from one another, and when they know someone other than their teacher will view it, they put forth more effort.
Technology can also be used to strengthen assessments. Clark and Avrith (2017) shared a For/As/Of Learning design. This helps teachers differentiate to meet the needs of all students. For/As/Of (formative, ongoing, and summative assessments) allows teachers to identify goals for learning, determine if students have provided evidence of meeting goals, and plan for future instruction. Students use various tools to demonstrate learning and reflect. Students can demonstrate learning through publishing digital books, visual storytelling, creating audio recordings, think-pic-share, Canva, screencasting, blogging, collaborate through slides, writing, and interactive whiteboards. Reflection is a key component that enables students to show understanding of content, understanding of themselves as learners, as well as encouraging application of knowledge to their learning in the future. Students can reflect by keeping a journal, writing a letter, offering advice, and creating a video reflection.
Digital portfolios provide parents, teachers, and students with evidence of learning and growth. Clark and Avrith (2017) stated, “These digital tools give learners a place to make their own thinking visible, provide them a with a voice, and allow them to share their creations with an authentic audience” (p. 100). The three types of digital portfolios are process, showcase and hybrid.
Clark and Avrith (2017) carefully selected and explained 20 tools to share with teachers - Blogger, Book Creator, Canva, Classroom, DOCS, Explain Everything, Flipgrid, Formative, Forms, Padlet, ReCap App, Screencastify, Seesaw, Sites, Slides, Socrative, Soundtrap, WeVideo, Talk and Comment and YouTube. Not only did they provide the purpose of each tool, but they also provided a helpful list of questions to ask yourself when considering choosing a tool. If you want to know which of the four C’s apply to each tool, then you’ll need to go back to the padagogy section for that information. Although I was familiar with many of their suggestions, I had really only integrated Seesaw, Flipgrid, DOCS, Slides, and YouTube. I am excited to incorporate more of these tools in a meaningful way with next year’s fourth graders!
This book will be one of the “go to” books on my shelf next year. I am excited about sharing it with my 4th grade team, and implementing many of the ideas to enhance my teaching. This is the world our students know. However, Clark and Avrith (2017) stated, “Being a disruptive teacher means understanding that although students know how to use technology, they don’t understand how to use it to learn” (p. 6). This book is full of ideas and tools to use to enhance learning through technology, but for a novice it could be overwhelming. Although this text provided the evidence to support using these tools in the classroom, I felt like I needed some examples from a real classroom teacher that was using them in daily instruction. I truly want my students to make their thinking visible to demonstrate learning through a meaningful use of technology, so I’ll use this book along with some other resources to help make that happen!

Technology isn't going anywhere. The amount of Tweets, Snaps, and Instagram posts our students send every day are a testament to that. But technology used correctly in the classroom can transform how students learn. Giving students the right tools empowers students to perform at their level, and in a way that they are comfortable with. Technology takes students from consumers to creators if used correctly. Holly and Tanya in their book "The Google Infused Classroom" is the perfect handbook to make the magic happen in your classroom. The tools mentioned in the book offer students a voice and amplify the educational experience. The book is chock full of tips and tricks, lesson ideas, and resources that will enrich your lessons, give students choice, and foster success. The book explains how to use technology to improve learning, and takes you through how to design lessons that engage, empower, and transform the learning experience. There are impactful quotes throughout the book that will get you thinking and really drive home the message that this book is for all teachers. This book is a must have in our classrooms. Use it, mark it up, share the ideas with others, and keep it close at hand. I guarantee your students will thank you.

Techno Peasant to Techno Geek
The Google Infused Classroom: A Guidebook to Making Thinking Visible and Amplifying Student Voice can help even the most seasoned educational veteran. As promised this book is packed full of ideas for helping students thinking become visual, providing a platform for every students voice to be heard and ideas for publishing their work. Adding a 5th C – Curation brought in ideas for metacognition which is the cement of learning – allowing student to better understand the content, who they are as learners and how they can apply their knowledge in the future (p.83) are life skills that will serve them well. If you are Techno Geek use this book to practice the number one life skill of self-evaluation and reflect on how and why you’re utilizing technology. As a Pedagogical Coach and 40 year veteran this book will be a great resource for the teachers I work with every day.
