Deer Valley Unified School District Boosts Student Engagement with Google for Education

The Challenge

Before partnering with Boxlight-EOS Education, educators at Deer Valley Unified School District were seeking more effective ways to: 

• Increase student engagement through dynamic, interactive digital lessons 

• Offer more student choice and ownership in learning 

• Promote meaningful student reflection and portfolio development 

• Maximize their use of Google for Education tools with hands-on, classroom-ready strategies 

• Although the district had access to the tools, teachers needed support in transforming them into powerful, student-centered learning experiences. 

Google Solution Implementation

With support from Boxlight-EOS Education, Deer Valley educators participated in customized professional development focused on leveraging Google Workspace for Education. Completed sessions have included: 

• Student Portfolios with Google Sites 

• Digital Escape Rooms using Google Slides, Forms, and Sites 

• HyperDocs and Choice Boards for flexible, student-paced exploration and Google Slides and Docs to empower student voice

These sessions provided practical templates and examples that educators could immediately apply in their classrooms.
