Next, let's welcome spring and National Poetry Month with a pair of 'Googley' activities!

Option 1:
We'll start by using the often-overlooked Google Drawings tool to create a magnetic poetry template, enabling students to explore spring vocabulary and poetry in a fun, interactive way.

Option 2:
Next, Google's "Verse By Verse" is an excellent tool for older students seeking to push their creative boundaries. This Google AI tool draws on classic American poets to generate different types of poems. Challenge students to select three poets and experiment with blending different styles, analyzing how the AI's suggestions reflect each poet's distinct voice.

Hey All You Googlers! UCET 2025 was a success! I wanted to share resources from two of my favorite Google sessions this month. The first is the annual GEG Utah Demo Slam. Google Certified Educators from across the state battled it out for the coveted traveling 3D Printed Google Trophy. Our winner, Eliza Lyons from Granite District, featured ratings in Google Forms. Here are the rules below:

  • Each Google Certified Educator will submit one video
  • Video must demonstrate use of Google tools/add-ons/extensions/etc.
  • Demonstration portion of the video must be ≤ 2 minutes
  • Video must include a brief introduction (may be outside of the 2 minute time limit)
  • Video must conclude with a “SLAM”
