Thu May 5 Hangout with Fanny Passeporte on Google Apps for Education
This Hangout on Air is an open discussion about unleashing the power of the Google Apps for Education to create a site with integrated Google Apps for an intranet solution. If teachers do less admin, they can focus on their students’ learning and become better version of themselves! I have invited people who, I think, are moonshot thinkers and can really contribute and amplifying each others’ ideas. Looking forward to collaborating with you!
