Google Teacher Academy Is Coming to Seattle this Summer!

If you go gaga for Google like I do, this is exciting news indeed! The Google Teacher Academy is held in a different city each year and, although they accept applicants from outside the area, priority goes to those within a 100-mile radius. This year, that could be you and I hope it will be! Google isn't just a search engine, Google tools (Docs, Sites, etc.) and other Google products, like Google Earth, offer a lot of opportunities for teachers and students, and you could be on the cutting edge of this as a Google Certified Teacher. (Does that sound cool, or what!?)

Interesting in applying? (Pretty please?) Great--head on over to the Google Teacher Academy site, read all about it and get started on your 1-minute video. Application and video are due June 16. Let me (Kimberly) know if you have any questions or need any help. And, of course, if you get accepted, let us know that, too!!

Not interested in applying, but wondering what all the fuss is about with Google tools in schools? Visit the Google for Educators page and check out what's available. Then, if you're interested in the clock hours, come back here and tell us what you found and why you think it's worth reporting.
