Let me take a moment to introduce myself, I am Tara Schneider.  I have been teaching for 19 years and am currently a 4th grade teacher. I fell in love with the Google Apps for Education about 4 years ago and can not imagine my life without them.  Moreover, I am always finding ways to utilize Google for Education to enhance student engagement, communication, collaboration and creativity. 

This love for Googles Apps for Education led me to take the Google Certified Educator Levels 1 & 2 exams.  But it was not enough to just be a Certified Educator, I wanted to become a trainer to share my knowledge and enthusiasm around Google Apps for Education with the world.  So here I am a Google Certified Trainer for Education!

In March 2019, I became an ISTE Certified Educator.  The ISTE certification work has empowered me to leverage all of my Google and technology learning to make learning powerful and meaningful for students.  My goal as an educator is to guide students to be 21st Century Learners and teachers to be 21st-Century educators!  

In February 2021, I became an ISTE Certified Trainer.  Being an ISTE Certified Trainer has afforded me the opportunity to empower educators all over the world.  Guiding educators through the ISTE Certification coursework is such an amazing experience!
