Google Assistant My Storytime

Jennifer Oliver, an educator, and military spouse helped designers of Google Nest develop an inspiring new product called My Storytime. Now, no matter where you are, you can visit MyStorytime.com to create a private account for your family and begin building your library of recorded stories. And once shared with the parent back home, all they have to say is “Hey Google, talk to My Storytime” to hear your personal stories. This is so inspirational and will enhance the lives of many children.

My Storytime might also be used in schools that have Google Home Minis. It might also be a great feature to add to one of your GEG meetings, to make your members aware of it - or even demo the service if you have access to a Home Mini!

Reigniting the GEG in Georgia

On Thursday, November 7, 2019, Carrie Siegmund, a #Lon19 Google Innovator, teamed up with Erin Fields, the Southeast Program manager for Google for Education, to host a social meet up for Google Educators, Trainers and Innovators at the Georgia Educational Technology Conference (GaETC).



Participants had the opportunity to network and make connections with Google for EDU educators by participating in a competitive Find a Google for EDU Friend Who activity. This activity encouraged participants to approach and make connections with others who specialize in a certain Google for EDU tool or approach. But most importantly it encouraged NEW conversations and relationships with others who are passionate about teaching and learning and Google for EDU! Lucky winners were rewarded with some cool Google Swag too.

However, the most exciting news to come from the social meet was that participants expressed a sincere interest in getting a GEG back up and running in Georgia. Several participants volunteered to get the conversation started and two leaders have already signed up to be the leader, Rhonda Stroud #NYC19, and co-leader Leslie Fagin #WDC17! Stay tuned for additional details about this GEG movement in Georgia!
