Get Certifiably Googled?
The new Google for Educators site is up and running and there is some interesting reading. I am always happy to find a new source of lesson plans, that’s for sure. I do hope to see more content here soon though, it looks a little thin to me.
The most surprising thing is the Google Teacher Academy where you can actually GO - as in “get on a plane and go” - spend the day with Google. I never really thought about Google being any Where, as in the Getrude Stein meaning of there - where.
But huh, go figure. You can go chat with the real live Google folks and get some training in their fun toys. Then you can go back where you came from and deliver the message to your teacher-homies. My question is, do you get paid to promote Google’s products? Or is the a volunteer corporate shill opportunity? The site says they’re still working out some of the benefits. I hope one is cold, hard cash. They certainly seem to have some they could share.
