I thoroughly enjoyed Laura's presentation on using google calendar for lesson plans. It seems I have found an easier solution than what I had been using prior, in the past I have been notorious for writing skeleton plans. Laura gave the detail on how to easily create an outline of your lesson in a form that is viewable for your students as well as admin and parents alike. I think the greatest selling point is being able to eliminate the age old question of "what did I miss yesterday?" Also the ease of being able to move lessons and copy duplicates from one year to another. Laura is a high energy presenter and also has an excellent protocol in her classes with badge systems to motivate students to achieve at high levels. I have been working a little with the idea and seeing how I can create a system incorporating this as I have been using google classroom this year in the classroom with great success.
