Avra Robinson is a Google Education Trainer dedicated to helping teachers & students make their lives & learning more effective & more FUN via the use of technology! She is passionate about helping teachers find their “TechCess Language” and believes that with enough self-confidence, everyone can be successful & find joy with technology! Avra was a classroom teacher in both third grade and Kindergarten. Although she “speaks techie,” Avra translates tech-talk into plain English helping all learners walk away with practical strategies for immediate classroom implementation.
Avra is a huge proponent of digital publishing for students and teachers. She believes that creating a positive digital footprint from an early age is an important piece of citizenship. Avra will share a wide variety of tools that she uses to help students and teachers create digital portfolios. She believes that digital portfolios are a KEY to success because they allow teachers and students to reflect positively on their technology adventures while they collect, curate, and showcase their work. TACKK, Google Drawings, MoveNote, ThingLink, and Blogger will be introduced with student examples shared. Avra will also introduce Google Sites as a powerful platform for those students and teachers who are ready for a more robust sharing platform.
