TEACHER'S SUMMIT
The event ‘TEACHER’S SUMMIT’ was a well-planned meet including faculty members of our college and the IGSC (IEC Google Student Community) . Its main purpose was to introduce, enlighten & promote the use of GOOGLE APPS in technical education with both, the teachers and students. Relevant Google Apps (such as Google Docs,Google Forms , Google Spread sheets, Google Drive, etc.) which are highly beneficial from education point of view were mainly focused.

- This fact is not just a mere statement, it’s an example that we observed that day. Acknowledging our teachers about the relevant Google apps and their uses in field of education was real fun and learning session for us (IGSC team) also. We were well accompanied by 102 teacher from their respective different departments ranging from B.Tech to MBA including B.Pharma, MCA etc. We started the things smoothly, explaining Google Drive and ended with Google Calendar covering Docs, Spread sheets and Forms in between. Every session was followed by a Demonstration session ending with a query session which at some instances took longer time than the explaining session itself.
Faculty Members Enjoying SessionQUERY SESSION:
· As we proceeded the Query session the interest of teachers increased to a certain level that we was asked to make an attendance system using Google Forms for our department.· Teachers discussed about the use of apps in academics,like giving us our Assignments questions on Drive with the help of a Simple Link. ( just copy paste the link and share :) )· We also discussed to mark our sessional Exam dates , Semester Exam dates and Important Dates of the academic Year on Google Calendar and Share with each student through Email , so that each one will get a remainder every time and there will be no confusions regarding dates of submissions.· We also discussed the importance of Google Forms and spreadsheets in our academics, such that in library, at the time of registrations, especially in Training & Placement cell which will normalize long lines of students standing for registrations etc .If Google Apps are used then our time, energy and PAPERS will be saved.· We discussed about online notes Sharing to the students through drive (sharing a folder), and many more things to get implemented in academic level for student – teacher need.
Query Solving session
APPFun:APPFun was an activity session for Teachers where we gave some practical activities.it consist of 3 rounds :· FAF (FORM-A-FORM)· QUIKKER-O-TASK· JO JEETA WAHI SIKANDAR.Initially we was having 12 teams, from which will be 1st in FAF and QUIKK-O-TASK will qualify for the last round.
1. FAF : The activity (making TEACHER SUMMIT FORM using Google forms and sharing it to a common Email) was given to faculty members along with Head Of Departments(HODs) in a particular time boundary and asked them to complete the activity respectively.
2. QUIKKER-O-TASK: The 2nd activity (filling TEACHER SUMMIT REGISTRATION FORM individually then move the Spreadsheet into a folder ,name it on your team name and then sharing it to a common Email with proper access of can view)was given to faculty members along with HODs in a particular time boundary and asked to complete the activity.
3. JO JEETA WAHI SIKANDAR: The best part of the Summit came in when we announced the Quiz Round ‘JO JEETA WAHI SIKANDAR’ .we made two teams (TEAM DROID & TEAM DRIVE), by the time we start the Quiz teams looked more enthusiastic than us to get the questions coming. They all enjoyed the session like primary standard kids, they raised their hands higher than the opposition team to prove their respective points.

At a moment, we thought the goodies we arranged for the faculties may fell short. But by due help from college management, we arranged to wrapped up the things well enough. In the end, we received a casual but highly anticipated gratitude and thanks from our faculties to which we responded the same way showing our pleasure in the service.
KEY LEARNING:Getting interactive with our teachers is always beneficial and this time it was all in bulk. Beings a GSA, supported by my IGSC team, I thought we covered each and every place where Google Apps can easily replace the age old traditional ways of performing academic tasks in our sessions. But our Faculties seriously proved why are called ‘Faculties’. They, first of all, appreciated our attempt of putting up this event and then showed us the new fields where faculties could make students use Google apps. Many new points were appended to the lists of tasks performed by any discussed Google apps by our Faculties itself.At the end we wrapped up with a vote of thanks for all our teachers and to IGSC team from my side and with a distribution of Google Goodies provided by College funds.
