Each day, there is a new webinar that is usually an hour long over technology and best practices for education.

Become a Google Certified Teacher

You are already familiar with the Google Apps tools, why not show everyone what you know by getting your Google Certified Teacher level 1 and level 2 badge?

Here are the steps:

• Login to https://goo.gl/LhEfpC
• Take the Fundamental’s Training sessions. Each session is broken up into many small lessons with a short quiz to check for understanding at the end. You don’t have to go through them all to take your final certification test but I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU DO....even on lessons over topics you have a high comfort level.
• When you are done, sign up to take the Educator Certified Level 1 exam. This exam cost $10.00.
  
• When you finish level 1, repeat to take Level 2. The level 2 exam cost is $25.00.
  

• The exams will take around 3 hours. You will be asked permission for Google to use your camera - this is how they check to make sure you are in fact the one answering the questions. Feedback on how you did is very quick.
