Over the last few months our GEGUtah Leadership team have been working to help teachers become Google Certified Educators. The website linked above includes nine training sessions designed to help any educator pass the Google Certified Educator Exams.
If you are interested in become a Google Certified Educator, please feel free to use this site, share it with others, and help each build out competency. Also UEN is offering free exam vouchers to any educator who completes their course. Here is a link to their courses.
Often writing lesson plans for our content areas while also including digital skills like using Google products can be difficult. Google's Applied Digital Skills is here to help! The program provides teachers with lesson plans that both teach content and digital skills. All for free!
At GEGUtah we understand that educators might need some help in understanding how to produce these lesson plans for your classes, so we have created an ongoing weekly series that walks through an Applied Digital Skills lesson plan and some remixes. Here are links to the individual lesson plans:
