Important Take Aways from these lessons:

  • To find resources, you can look for:
    • Certified Trainers
    • Certified Innovators
    • Reference Schools
    • Education Partners

    • Product specialty

Unit 1: Google Certification Level 1

Some important take aways from these lessons:
  • Technology does not meet the standard: it enhances it.
  • As a teacher, it's ok to take a risk. The kids need to see you learning and trying also.
  • Respect and Protect!
    • Copyright and fair use
    • Online Safety
    • Communication
  • Uses of Google Forms, Docs, Sheets, and Slides
  • Stray away from the textbook for more up-to-date events and also make it more visually appealing and interesting using YouTube.
