In this online course administered by Google, you will be introduced to each tool Google Workspace for Education has to offer. You will build the digital skills necessary to create materials within each tool, and you will understand how to apply these skills to integrate digital learning into your classroom.

Formerly offered as "Google Certified Educator, Level 1," course modules include readings, videos, hands-on practice, and knowledge checks. The course culminates with a 30-minute assessment.

The Fundamentals training will take approximately 2.5 hours. Google will track your progress and the dates you complete each section. A separate form will be provided to you to report your completed hours for payment and clock hours. Up to 2.5 non-contract hours may be compensated with Staff Development and/or Technology PD funds and are eligible for clock hours.

Please be aware that the Google Educator modules cover the full suite of Google tools, not all of which align with OSD policies and student account permissions.
