Course Description: 4.5 CEUs
More and more schools are using the collaborative features in Google Suite, and this course has something for every educator. This 10-week, online course will help educators best serve their students by learning how to use the key tools in Google Suite to help facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity. There are free tutorials on how to use these features online, but this course will guide educators through these features weekly, enabling educators to ask questions and get assistance along the way from a real person, an experienced technology instructor.
This course helps educators to meet some of the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) Competencies for Educators. It can also help in preparation for Google Training certification, for those interested in going further. Educators can apply this course to their re-certification goals.
