Level 1 Google Certified Educator

I have been talking about doing this for more than a year, so finally over winter break this year I got around to doing it.  I set this goal for myself and just kept pushing it off now for months, but now it's complete and it feels great!
I took went through the thirteen online training modules to become a Level 1 Google Certified Educator.  It really was a great experience.  Many of the things they went over I was already familiar with, but I learned more than I expected to from the process. I considered myself pretty Google-savvy, but my eyes were opened to even more that Google can do.  I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to implement more free and useful tools into their classroom instruction!  You can sign up for the course here: Google Educator Training Courses Once your training is completed there is a $10 fee to take the final exam.  It takes quite awhile to finish but you get your results almost immediately followed by an email with your certificate and badge.

Now my next goal is to tackle Level 2 in the near future!
