As you may know, Google Edu Certification Exams were closed last Spring 2015 to undergo a major update and revamp of the current system and exams. As of mid July 2015, the new exams were opened as well as new certification system and training center. There are now 2 certifications titled Google Educator Level 1 and Google Educator Level 2. Level 1 is for those who have learned the fundamentals of Google Apps for Education and Level 2 is for advanced users of Google Apps for Education. Users do not have to attain Level 1 certification prior to Level 2 certification.

Our migration to Google Apps for Education at IU13 is occurring in phases. The first phase was some initial testing in Tech Services.

In this second phase, all IU13 employees were to disassociate their personal Google accounts from the iu13.org email address as was outlined in this blog post (IU13 is moving to Google Apps for Education (Part 1)).

Google forms is a service of Google Apps that is available for you to use in your classrooms with your students or parents. A Google form is a quick survey tool. You develop the questions and then put the survey link or embedded code on your blog, wikispace, or LMS for students or parents to access. You may already survey your students/parents on their interests, email addresses, or topics they are interested in studying. In addition, you could consider using Google Forms for a quick formative assessment, check for understanding, or "ticket out the door". If you move your paper survey over to a Google Form, all the responses are noted for you in a nice Google Spreadsheet that you can easily sort and insert graphs to display the data.
