Data has become such an important part of all sectors of our world. Students need to work with data: to collect it, make sense of it, and ask good questions. In this session, you’ll learn ways of collecting data, find free sources of data, and learn about free and simple data tools you can use in your classroom easily to build those skills with students. Grades 3+.

Authentically Askew: Assessing the Messy Process of Project-Based Learning

Thursday October 15, 2026 1:10pm - 2:10pm EDT

Augusta

Even the best intentions of project-based learning tend to produce more than their fair share of dumpster projects: the wonderful things our learners make, we grade, and then pile up in the back of the room until the end of the year and whoosh. In this workshop, experiment with a number of methods for making PBL more formative, more standards-based, and ultimately, more authentic.

This session is designed for people that have access to their domain's Google Admin Console. In this session you will hear of different avenues for auditing your policy settings in the Google Admin Console and discuss some best practices when working with new updates. Settings should not be changed during the session but rather thought about and potentially applied when admins are back within their districts to test out.
