With spring break just moments away and summer around the corner when we return, you may be thinking about some opportunities for professional growth and development. One easy way to both learn and be recognized for how you are currently integrating technology into your curriculum and classroom is through Google for Education training. Google offers free online courses in both Fundamentals and Advanced use of Google Apps specifically in education, from the basics of using Google Drive and Google Classroom to using conditional formatting, charts and pivot tables in Forms to analyze academic trends in student data.You can complete the entire course, check your skills by "testing out" of subject areas you are already adept in, or just select the specific skill you want to focus on to improve your classroom workflow. If you really get motivated, you can take a certification exam to become a Google Certified Educator at either level (fundamentals or advanced). Have fun exploring!
