I am loving every second of the Certified Google Educator Level 1 training! As a level II Help Desk student, I covered the majority of the material in the training during semester one, but it is certainly going more in depth with educational application. Some of the training has involved the basic Google features, supplements to textbooks, Google Education Groups, Google Forms/Sheets as quizzes, etc. The training is extremely helpful in slowing immersing the trainee into the material, especially those who may be new to the #gafe scene. So far, some of the topics I think that I should experiment more with are:
- Google Forms and Google Sheets (using different quiz formats)
- Features of Gmail (customizing theme and inbox organization)
- Google Groups/Google Hangouts (basic use)
Currently, I am on Unit 4, Lesson 3: Using Hangouts for Real-Time Student Communtication. This unit has been particularly interesting because I never associated Google Hangouts with being a useful educational device, but it seems to help students and teachers stay in contact and collaboration.
I can't wait to learn more!
