Using Google in Education

Have you heard about all of the great ways to use Google in your classroom?  I keep hearing more and more of it, and I'm so excited to explore these new ways.

If you're interested in learning more, check out this document from Google that lists (and links) all kinds of things to use in your classroom.

Become a Google Certified Teacher

Interested in using Technology in your instruction, but you want to know more.  Check out the Google Teacher Academy (GTA).  Google provides 2 day hand's on workshops and presentations on using Google Tools in the classroom.  It really looks like an amazing opportunity.  What's the draw back?  You have to pay your own way unfortunately. :(

Right now, the applications are open for London and Stockholm in December.  Consider it.   I will definitely be applying if they come back to the states anywhere closer to the East Coast.
