Switching Gears: Driving Staff Communication with Google Chat

Wednesday June 4, 2025 10:00am - 10:50am MDT

The engine of every great school runs on clear, fast communication. With Cisco Jabber pulling into the garage for good, it’s time to switch gears and move your team into the fast, collaborative world of Google Chat.
In this session, administrators will learn the ins and outs of Google Chat—from direct messages to Spaces—and how to lead their staff through a smooth transition. Think of this as your road test before taking Google Chat out for a full-campus spin.

When syncing fails, everything from student interventions to state reporting can go off track. Learn how to “fuel the flow” of data between platforms, set school-wide expectations, and avoid the end-of-term scramble. Leave with tools to ignite better systems in your school.
