Professional development

Google Is Awesome!

I need to attend the Become a Google Certified Educator Conference to further my understanding of all the wonderful tools the Google Suite for Education has to offer.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finn's classroom raised $1,230

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Our district recently moved to Google Suite for Education exclusively.

It is imperative for teachers and their students to use the many useful tools on the Google Suite for Education, and I'll be able to help facilitate that!

By attending the MindSpark Learning Institute to become a Google Certified Educator I can help my colleagues not only in my building but across the district to learn about the many facets that Google has to offer. There are many I haven't used yet and would love to be able to learn them myself, and in turn, help my fellow teachers and their respective students.

My Project

After attending the Becoming a Google Educator three day workshop my understanding of the Google Suite for Education will be completely solidified.

Being certified as a Google Educator will benefit my colleagues, and most definitely my students as I teach them how to implement the many facets of Google in their education.

Our district recently moved to Google exclusively without many staff development opportunities for us to learn about how best to incorporate Google with our students. By attending this conference I'll be able to better collaborate with my students and teach them how to best use Google to help them with their studies.
