Everyone knows that all kinds of good information can be pulled from spreadsheets, but how do you unlock that information? Data comes alive when you can manipulate data to understand it. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll begin with a generic term final grade spreadsheet with thousands of enrollments and grades and we will use the Unique, If, and Vlookup functions in Google Sheets to sort out how individual students did. Gaining an understanding of how to use these 3 simple functions allows users to pull all kinds of information from their spreadsheets and become spreadsheet magicians. Participants will need their laptops, at least a basic knowledge of spreadsheets, and access to Google Sheets. If you are familiar with spreadsheets but would like to have more knowledge of how to manipulate them, this workshop is for you.

Would you like the ability to send thousands of customized emails to recipients in minutes using a spreadsheet? Or to use a spreadsheet to create thousands of custom documents easily? If you have access to email addresses, data, and Google Sheets this process is actually really easy. If you’ve never used a mail merge program for mass emailing or mass document creation, this presentation will give you a nice overview of how this works. iSucceed uses YAMM (Yet Another Mail Merge) and Autocrat for our mass emailing needs and you’ll see how we use these programs to promote student engagement and improve academic performance. Anyone attending this session will walk away with knowledge of how mail merges work plus ideas of how to use them in your school.

Discover how districts, technical schools and community colleges are using creative approaches including AI, AR, and VR to engage and inspire students. This session will demonstrate how students research, learn, and experience a variety of concepts and the associated career pathways in STEM, Health Science, Advanced Manufacturing, Agri-Science, Transportation and more. Based on this exploration, students are able to develop plans for post-secondary study and/or earn valuable certifications. Leaders from Mountain Home School District will share their implementation story.

Are you looking forward to the next meeting you have on your calendar? Do you get out of bed each day excited to spend time in a room with your colleagues? No?

In this session we will unpack an effective meeting structure provided by Patrick Lencioni in his book, Death by Meeting. I will share how IDLA implements this meeting structure to support productive meetings that engage each participant. I will also demonstrate how IDLA is able to implement this meeting structure in a virtual environment, supported by Google tools.

In this presentation you will learn how the Nampa School District set up their new hire process. It starts in HR and ends with tech training.

What if there was a cheap extension for Excel or GSheets that could allow you to manipulate spreadsheets at a high level? Imagine being able to compare sheets for uniques or duplicates in seconds, to be able to merge and transfer information from one spreadsheet to another without using complex formulas or repeating VLookup scores of times? That add on is called Power Tools by Able Bits. I’m not trying to sell a product here but this extension changed my life and allows me to easily do complex things and unlock information from spreadsheets that I wouldn’t be able to in any other way. This presentation will show you some of ways iSucceed Virtual Schools use Power Tools and how this software can allow you to take your spreadsheets to a new level. The ideal audience for this presentation are people who regularly use and manipulate spreadsheets and who would like to use an affordable tool that makes this easier.
