Middle East Google Apps For Education Summit

I am presenting at my first Middle East Google Apps for Education Summit. Wow! I am excited and it has been fun to get ready for. My current school, the American School of Dubai is hosting the event. I am presenting on how to use Google Forms in schools. Fun! About 250 people here, good presenters, nice atmosphere. I have been inspired once again to help my students be inspired, be creative, collaborative, and communicate better. "Creatical"   #gafesummit
