GOOGLE CERTIFIED EDUCATOR....WOHOOOOO!!!

One of my sabbatical goals was to become a Google Certified Educator.  There are currently 2 levels and I am happy to say I passed the 3 hour (yes, 3 hour) test for Level 1!  I began by going through the online modules Google provides, which can be found here.  I took all the practice tests sometimes more than once to prepare for the test.  I also took a 2 day prep course from our Intermediate Unit, which really prepared me for the 3 hour exam.  

Did I think I knew a fair bit about Google?  Absolutely.  Do I think I would have passed without putting the time in to study and take the prep course....likely not.  Although I can't share with you anything specific about the test, I suggest you put the time in to review the modules, and know how to use your Google products.    Just know that to date, if you don't pass the test the first time, you will have 2 more chances to pass.  You must get an 80% on the exam to pass and pay (mine was $10) each time, so make sure you study and go to the bathroom before taking the test!
