I Passed My Tests!

Today I passed my latest Google Educator test, the "Trainer Skills Assessment". I have now passed all the Google Educator exams and am working toward earning my "Google Certified Trainer" badge. In order to do this, I need to complete 5 trainings and submit a 3-minute video of a training. Since school is out, and I'm not about to wait for a school to ask me to train their staff, I'm going to start with Live YouTube trainings next week focusing on Google tools to enhance your teaching practice.

What would you like to learn more about? I'd be happy to create a training around your interest and how technology can assist you in your professional goals.

I figure Google Classroom is a good place to start, so Monday morning I'll start my first virtual training on Getting started with Google Classroom as I'm sure everyone will need a refresher when the next school year gets started. We'll dive into organizing your classes, settings to keep in mind, and other important things to remember when starting a class.

I'll update this blog with a link to the live training in the next 48 hours. Be sure to subscribe to get blog updates.

The idea stems from the frustration many students have - students spend class time writing down notes, then go home to work on the assignment that the notes support, only to find they have several questions and now need the teacher for support. But of course, the teacher isn't available and is eager to start another set of lecture notes for the next class. The flipped model changes the location of each activity and places the teacher and student together for maximum support and feedback for both parties. The student now has access to the teacher to answer those questions that can't be answered outside of class hours, and the teacher gets feedback on the effectiveness of their lecture.

Got Training?

After reading posts from many forums, I realize there are lots of teachers looking to get Google certified. Some are doing it as part of a growing trend, others are being forced by their district. While some teachers are comfortable with using these tools and taking the tests, most are not and are feeling the pressure of these new requirements. I'm here to help. As part of my Google Certified Trainer, I need to provide training for teachers and collect feedback on the sessions. Below is a calendar of my training. At this point, all training is free and online. I will conduct the training using Google Meet. This will allow me to share my screen as I use the Google tools, and allow attendees to share their screen so I can guide them through tasks while the rest of the group follows along. If you'd like to participate in my upcoming training, please register using this form. I will be sure to email you all details as they develop. Loading…
