I'm VERY eager to explore assigning GEMS and #NOTEBOOKLM to students through #GoogleClassroom. The very first time I used NotebookLM I knew this was a perfect fit for Google Classroom! I'm so glad that Google is including this feature for all EDU domains!

TODAY Google announced a BUNCH of great new updates!

This year I'm especially impressed and excited by how many of these updates are FREE. Google is also expanding access to features that used to be premium (i.e. Google Vids) to EVERYONE!

#GoogleEDU #ISTE2025

This week I am a featured speaker at the 2025 #MACUL conference in Detroit! Come join me for sessions on AI, #Chromebooks, #GoogleAdmin policies, and more!

If you can't attend live, feel free to request my session resources: chrm.tech/macul25.

Hope to see you there!

Is anyone attending #MACUL next week?

My first time was in 2005 as a student. My EdTech professor invited us to attend and said he would take anyone who came out to dinner. I was a poor college student, so this was a good deal!

I've been attending ever since!

The #Chrome browser has a cool new tool bar that you can customize with shortcuts to useful features like creating a QR code, accessing your saved passwords, reading mode and more.

Cheers to 2024! 🥂 It was a full year with a few ups and downs.

Gearing up for the challenges and adventures of 2025!

One of the more useful premium features I am using is "custom building blocks" which make it easy to insert templates into @googledocs.bsky.social

Today I'm planning a new YouTube video, so I'm inserting my video planning template.

This morning I'm setting up our annual "Christmas Breakout" activity: www.chrmbook.com/christmas-br...

At this point this has become an essential family tradition.

The process of "breaking out" gives mom and dad time to get up, get ready and start breakfast while the kids are occupied.

About a year ago I started a new YouTube channel for #GoogleEDU admins. This channel has lots of videos on how to use the #AdminConsole to manage your users and devices.

My latest video will walk you through the process of setting up a "dirty word" list for #Gmail: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N4z...

Nice little trick if you do a lot of work in #GoogleSlides.
