The Google Journey

With all of the buzz around the district surrounding Google, many teachers are interested in learning more.  Fortunately, Google has provided many free, self-guided training resources for individuals to use.

If there is a specific tool that you would like to learn more about, you can visit the Google for Education training page.  Along the left sidebar you will find a list of Google tools.  Just click on the tool you would like to learn more about.  You will receive an overview of the tool, along with self-guided lessons to teach you about the features.  Many tools have basic as well as advanced lessons, so you can get as in-depth with your learning as you would like.  With most tools there is even a quick quiz at the end to help you gauge your understanding.  This page is enough to get many teachers started on a new tool of their choosing.


However, if you would like to learn more, you may want to pursue one of the Google training programs.  These programs can help you become a Certified Google Educator.  This blog post details the requirements of the program nicely.

No matter which path you choose, hopefully it will be a journey filled with tricks and tips that we can all use to become more effective and efficient.  Happy learning!

  1. This is such a rich resource for anyone using Google app products. I love that you can review each lesson at your own pace.
