It was a simple, but mighty vision: be all about the kids and be innovative. It took a few years, and a strategic plan, but we progressed as a district on those two fronts. Part of that strategic plan was to move 1-1 with our students. We saw districts that tried and failed because of poor planning, poor training, poor infrastructure, or a combination thereof. It was decided to take a more measured approach. The first step was to get the right people in place. Three years ago RCISD hired Zach Snow as the Instructional Technology Coordinator and did the crazy thing of placing him not in the technology department, but the newly reorganized curriculum department head by Assistant Superintendent Julia Robinson. This is a seemingly small distinction, but if the focus was going to be on instruction and not on the technology, then department placement is key." (Sourced from http://www.connectedforlearning.org/blog/2016/08/30/cs_story/) In this conversation Kasey and Chrome Squad discuss the following: New additions to the Squad Impact of the Chrome Squad How being on the Squad has impacted the current and former students How to start a program like this at your school Resources The Chrome Squad Adviser Cody Holt (Twitter: @beard_speak, Website: ConnectedForLearning.org) About The Chrome Squad The Chrome Squad Story Google Teacher Podcast Mailbag Chuck Day (Castleford Idaho) -- Trying to get Bitmoji to work with Chromebooks.

Bitmojis for your students: How to create and share them (tutorial video) Mark Rupe (Dinuba, California)-- Matt, you mentioned in episode 96 that Jamboard can input files from Google drive. Also, I could be wrong, but you mentioned the Jamboard could be pushed out via Google Classroom. Question: Were you talking about the mobile version of the app? I went to jamboard.google.com and began "playing." Love Jamboard thanks to you and Kasey. However, I can't find buttons, menu items, etc. to do the above? Can you import files such as a Slide deck? All I see is an icon for importing pictures from Google Drive! I know it's me. I know you are super busy, but please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Our district is a Google district. Thanks to your podcast, I'm lobbying them to let all teachers and kids have access to this new addition to G-Suite. I think they just have to flip a switch. Great program. Thank you!!

Download Episode! Featured Content The Chrome Squad is an elite group of students at Royse City High School that provide tech support and learning opportunities for both students and teachers. In the four years the Chrome Squad has been in operation they have evolved--developing new teams and products to serve not only Royse City ISD, but others districts as well. The Chrome Squad has helped over 50 other districts across the US start student internships, spoken at conferences like TCEA, and have been able to spend time at the Googleplex and Google HQ2 in Austin, Tx. The Chrome Squad is made of twenty-one 10th-12th graders working across 8 teams. Tech TV Connect Store Tech Tips Connected for Learning: The Podcast Inventory Chromecierge C4L Ninjas Promotions There have been a few changes since the Chrome Squad was last on the Google Teacher Tribe Episode 8. They have started a podcast that focuses on the great things teachers are doing and the ways a teacher can better empower learners with technology. You can find the teaser for the podcast on iTunes (Google Play will be coming soon). The Chrome Squad also adopted a goal setting process used by companies like Google called OKRs, or Objectives-Key Results, as well as Design SPRINTS. This has allowed the Chrome Squad to design and project plan an entire year’s worth of work in a few days during the summer.

Katie Attwell is not only a passionate educator from Southern Ontario, she is also the lead tech learner at her school, whom I met at the #OntarioSummit a couple weeks ago. This week, she took the jump and was on the podcast. Katie was not only stepping out of her comfort zone for the podcast, but she also talks about how she has recently jumped into blogging! (http://attwellsadventuresined.blogspot.ca/) Something she has been toying with lately… We also discuss why it’s important to take risks and what it’s like teaching ELL and Spanish in a high school context. She gives me some strategies on how to build community in the classroom and gives me an insight on her new project called Chrome Squad ! (https://chromesquadwoss.blogspot.ca/) At the end of the episode, Katie shares some different apps and tech tools students are into! Thanks Katie!

She created a Google form titled- "Eliana's Summer Pet Sitting and Mail Collection Service" then she had her mother post it to her friends to collect potential customers' information in a Google Sheet. As you can imagine, I was beaming with pride and thought you would like to hear about this real-life application being made at such a young age. This is proof that if we spend the time to train our kids to use these creative digital tools, they will do remarkable things! I spent this school year teaching and developing a curriculum for an elementary version of a "Chrome Squad" for our building. My goal was to develop a resource to train kids to use G Suite using basic language that kids can understand. I have a "Kids Teaching Kids" type of program which has now evolved into my kids actually teaching our busy teachers to use Google tools as well. I started with 10 kids and now have over 30 kids in our Chrome Squad.
