Another site new to me is Google for Education which offers training on the requirements to become a Google Educator. All courses listed are: Android Tablets for Education, Calendar, Chrome, Chromebooks, Classroom, Digital Citizenship, Docs Suite, Docs, Drawings, Drive, Forms, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Play for , .Education, Implementing Google Apps, Search, Sheets, Sites, Slides, and YouTube. The advanced portion of training for some of the offered lessons are required for the assessments for Certification, but the basic lessons are also there if you need that help Each lesson also gives you an
estimated amount of time required to study the contents. Other than History there is no record of your taking the courses available, so in order to gain credit for having done them you would need to invest in the assessments. It appears that there are 4 required and 1 elective needed to attain certification so if they are $15 each that will be $75 total for the certification. Testing is not available again until June 28th.
YouTube would be another training site for Google for Education. Their channel is here. On this page are included playlists which includes on called "Best of Google for Education." This playlist has 35 titles which will run automatically or can be selected as needed.
No matter which way of learning about Google tools...in our district at least it is required learning.
