Educators are still hard at work at the South Plains Google Summit this week (dispelling myths that teachers run for the hills on the last day of school).
This event marks the first time a Google Summit has been organized in Lubbock and the only one to sell out in Texas. More than 500 attendees from across the South Plains are learning about using Google Apps for Education and other Google tools that support student learning in the 21st century classroom. All presenters are Google for Education Certified Innovators, Google for Education Certified Trainers, Google employees or teachers with local success stories.
The sessions include two keynote presentations, a demo slam competition and a closing capstone session. The rest of the two full days are made up of breakouts, demonstrations and hands-on workshops, all led by experienced and knowledgeable professional developers.

The South Plains Google Summit runs Wednesday from 7:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Thursday from 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. The event is taking place at Lubbock High School, 2004 19th St.
