The Google Certified Educator Certification is designed for educators and classroom teachers who wish to demonstrate proficiency in using Google for Education tools.
The Level 1 status indicates that an educator is able to successfully implement Google Apps for Education into their teaching practice in order to enhance teaching and learning. If you’re an educator who knows how to use Google tools in the classroom, this certification proves your proficiency.
The Summer 2019 Level 1 Cohort will be managed through Google Classroom and facilitated by Heather Sanders. “Class” will begin June 10 and will end July 5.

Our goals for the Level 1 Cohort include:
Examine how technology can make your life as an educator simpler
Gain a solid understanding of how to leverage technology and Google tools into your classroom to support effective teaching and learning
Help you become a Level 1 Google Certified Educator
