Hey everyone! Today’s EdTechInquiry Blog Post will be outlining exactly what we need to do to become Google Educators!

Before taking the exam to become Google Certified Educator Level 1’s, we have to go through a number of readings, videos, and activities that will help us learn how to integrate Google into our future classrooms

There are 13 units to complete that cover engaging in professional growth and leadership, increasing efficiency and saving time, facilitating and inspiring student learning and creativity

These units are set up to record your progress as you go, and so that you can start and stop lessons at any time. This is a really great feature since it allows you to progress through the units without having to dedicate large amounts of time to complete lessons. Any spare time can easily be used to work through this fundamental training.

Another convenient feature is that you can see how many lessons each unit consists of, as well as the approximate amount of time required to complete each unit.

Throughout this next week, we will begin working through unit 1, Get Ready to Use Technology in the Classroom.  It is supposed to take about 85 minutes and has 5 lessons within it.

Thanks for stopping by on our journey to becoming Google Educators!
