During the "learn with Google" event in February, Google announced three new tiers for Google Workspace for Education:

• Education Standard
• Teaching & Learning upgrade
• Education Plus

In this episode, I want to look at each of these tiers and decide if they provide enough value to justify the cost of upgrading .

The goal: find the most helpful resources, tools, and articles that I can share with my teacher friends (that’s you!).

Thanks to Wacom for sponsoring this episode. The One by Wacom makes it easy to annotate images, teach a lesson and grade student work. It is also one of the first drawing tablets that works with a Chromebook!

Remember the "good old days?"

• Teaching a lesson in front of the whiteboard or overhead projector was common practice.
• Using white-out to create worksheets as an essential skill.
• Everyone graded homework on paper with a red pen.

Things have changed.

Teaching in front of a computer screen can feel a bit rigid and scripted, but it doesn't have to be!

Can your Chromebook replace the whiteboard and the red pen?
