2. Google Educator
For the educators in the room, Google offers a range of training programs aimed at integrating Google tools into curriculum.
- Level 1: This stage teaches you the basics of Google tools such as Google Docs for organization and collaboration. You’ll also learn how to use Hangouts, Search, Drive, Calendar and much, much more for your classroom.
- Level 2: This stage offers higher end tools for the classroom, such as Blogger, Google Earth and Maps, Google for Research, how to build interactive curriculum and much more.
Each of these levels provide training and sample question. Each certification is 180 minutes, without pauses. And for extra security, your motions are detected on camera the entire time to make sure you’re taking the test. With these certifications, you can either become a Certified Trainer or a Certified Innovator. Not bad titles at all.
This was a great read! Invaluable information for me as I am definitely at a crossroads and in need of some additional, yet affordable, training to get my career back on track or break through to the next level professionally. Thanks for posting/putting this piece together.
