Impact

A few words of praise

““I believe Bring the World to Your Classroom is an incredible streamlined guide for anyone interested in applying Google Geo tools in their educational practice. In our dynamic world, we need to empower students to conduct research towards solving problems in their local community, collaborate beyond the walls of the classroom, and learn how to make informed decisions that have powerful ripple effects around the world. On a daily basis, educators play such a profound role on positive global impact, but it can be difficult to navigate all the resources available. Bring the World to Your Classroom helps solve that challenge by bridging technology, pedagogy, amazing tips, and the realities of the classroom to help create immersive learning experiences for all.”

Emily Henderson

Program Manager, Google, Google Geo Education Outreach

“The best thing I learned today was actually a series of reminders about learning: inspiration and enthusiasm are contagious, so find something you are excited about and then talk it up with others; collaboration requires communication, planning, investment from all sides, a bit of ad libbing, and a good sense of humor; we are all experts and we can even surprise ourselves with what we know when we’re given the chance to construct knowledge through meaningful conversations with others and share in authentic ways.”

ECH Participant

“I’ve always had a fondness for maps and traveling – and through this book by Kelly and Kelly we can bring both into our classrooms in powerful new ways. Leveraging the opportunities provided by Google Geo tools, students can explore and interact with the world with little more than a screen and an internet connection. Packed with tips, tricks and ideas this is a practical guide for any teacher hoping to set her students free on a global adventure!”

Jennie Magiera

Global Head of Education Impact, Google

“I was blown away by the efficiency, reach and scope of #edcampHOME. Even as a “tech guy” I felt a little overwhelmed, but the tutorials, guidance and community that it created was incredible. I am so motivated to try this on a smaller scale within our state/schools. Ryan Archer moderated both sessions I attended and was gracious to all people who wanted to share and learn. Great work by all. Thanks so much! #motivated #inspired #energized”
