Never too late to learn new stuff. What are the essentials you need to share with new teachers? I can’t tell you how many workshops I’ve put together that addressed the needs of new teachers.
What combination of must-haves do new teachers need? I hope you'll share, “What are your ‘top five’ for new teachers every year?”

I start with the basics:
1. How to organize Google Classroom
2. How to set up Gmail effectively
3. How to organize and use Google Drive
4. How to use our SIS (Aspen)
5. How to use provided hardware
6. Provide a list of school subscriptions and a list of all their supports

Later I can get into more interesting stuff like how to use our subscriptions, Chrome extensions, resources for templates, etc. But it starts with the real simple stuff that gives them control over their own space... physically and digitally.
@mguhlin @edutooters
This is an example of what I provide to Faculty at the beginning of the school year - this one is outdated but you get the idea.
This gets updated each year based on our subscriptions & resources.

@MrsDi Wow, Christina, that is an impressive deck! I love how you organized the tools into categories. Is it ok for folks to steal this and credit you? #EdTech #GoogleEdu #Education #PearDeck #MicrosoftFlip #Flipgrid #Wakelet @edutooters https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wO3qEyxgmwt1cgvkRze3jk8PERzXM09CaSUluWXYzbc/edit?usp=sharing
@mguhlin @edutooters
Always happy to share what I have - yes, steal away and remix. I'm always interested in how people can improve on things and make them better too!
Here is the one from the beginning of this school year with some newer info - some links specific to my school have been deleted.

@mguhlin @edutooters
I also offer "Digital Self-Care" sessions for Google Drive, Gmail... it's a way for educators to feel better about their own digital space.
@MrsDi Mindfulness and self-care are quite important, especially "post-COVID" (as if it is gone, not really) and at a time when expectations are so high to close learning gaps. Thanks so much for sharing. I hope others will do the same and tag the #EduTooters group @edutooters
@MrsDi @edutooters Great share, Christina. Those are hot topics for sure. Just learning to do Google Classroom, Gmail, and Drive can be such a lifesaver for teachers. And, using your Student Information System (SIS), and hardware is soo important.
What subscriptions do you have? 🙂
