Google Guru Wannabees #1

Since my friends became acquainted with Google Apps For Education, I couldn't help but become enchanted with the idea of exploring Google and taking my digital education to new heights. I was encouraged to attend a Google Summit and that was it. I contracted the Google bug. From there things seemed to go Google crazy. My school jumped on the 1:1 bandwagon and Chromebooks became part of the classroom. Although I had a learnt a little over the years, it became apparent that it was not enough. I need to learn more if I am going to continually challenge students and staff to venture out and do the same. Happily for me several members of the staff at my school have graciously agreed to come on a Google journey with me. Our first step is to take the 'Learn the Basics' lessons and tests. Step two, become 'Google Educators' and perhaps move on to step 3, which is becoming 'Google Certified Trainers'. Fasten your seat belts because we are about to go for a ride.
