I am very proud to be the Google for Education Certified Trainer for a series of Google Boot Camps this summer taking place in the heart of Los Angeles (see below for info). Last summer I had the honor of working with over 64 educators to prepare them to take the Google Certified Educator Level 1 & Level 2 exams. It was extremely exciting to spend two hands-on days with each group and see their confidence grow in preparation for the exams.

These two day Boot Camps are uniquely scheduled so that those that wish to take the exams are given the 3 hour opportunity at the end of the second day. Many educators left the two day workshops as proud & new Google Certified Educators!

If you are interested in becoming a Google Certified Educator, I’ve compiled a few ways to accomplish this and also the advantage to doing each. Know that it is a good idea to already be familiar with how G Suite tools are used in a classroom and education setting and that you use G Suite tools on a daily basis. If you would like Google 101 type of training then I suggest a Google sponsored free online material in the Google for Education Training Center, YouTube videos, or a local workshop. (Message me if you need help finding one!)
