I can't wait to sign up to start my Google Certified Educator training from Kasey Bell! Bell's website and blog Shake Up Learning is excellent and has a wide variety of Edtech resources, especially having to do with all things Google.
Her post and video walk-through about how to become a Google Certified Educator caught my eye this week because sign-ups for her trainings over the summer open on May 28 and close on June 10. Trainings are online and self-paced: the perfect kind of summer PD.
The Level 1 class focuses on the basics of using Google apps, as well as how to meaningfully use them with students. Level 2 provides educators with a deeper understanding of Google apps and how to integrate them even more effectively with students. Each class is about $300, but I think it's worth the investment since becoming familiar with Google apps and technology integration is becoming more of a necessary teacher qualification in the education (at least the public education) world these days. Definitely something you want on your resume!
