Google Educator Certification + Chromebook Tips

Google Educator Certification

Join Cassie and Matt in becoming Google Educators! This certification includes completing 6 modules (4 required and 2 elective) that explore Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sites, Chrome, and Chromebooks. After each module you need to take an exam to demonstrate your understanding. The exams are $15.00 each. Upon passing all 6 exams you will be reimbursed $90.00 for the cost of the exams by the technology department.

This week we are working on the Basic lessons and taking the exam. Click here to find the lessons. This module is not required for certification but will provide a good starting point before we start working on the more complex courses. Cassie and Matt will be available from 4:00pm - 5:30pm at South Campus on Monday, November 24th and Monday, December 1st to offer help on the basics course. You are not required to attend these help sessions and you can move through the modules at your own pace!

Chromebook Tips

This ThingLink has a great overview of Google Chrome features, Chromebook shortcuts and a few Chrome web apps for education. For those unfamiliar with ThinkLink, it is a great tool that teachers or students could use to link information about a topic in a visually appealing way. Think of it like an interactive poster.
