Course Description

This graduate-level course helps teachers prepare for the Google Educator Level 1 certification by guiding them through the updated Google training materials, including the newest content on Google AI tools, while giving them practical ways to apply Google Workspace for Education in the classroom.

Throughout the course, educators will work through Google’s current training content while exploring tools such as Google Drive, Docs, Classroom, Forms, Sheets, Gmail, Chat, Meet, Calendar, Tasks, Keep, Sites, and Google AI features. Teachers will learn how to organize classroom materials, communicate with students and families, manage time, create resources, collect assignments, provide feedback, measure student progress, and use AI tools responsibly to support instruction and efficiency.

Participants will complete hands-on activities, reflect on classroom application, and develop Google-based resources they can use in their own teaching practice. At the end of the course, teachers will take the Google Educator Level 1 certification exam to demonstrate their understanding and earn the certification.

By the end of the course, educators will be more confident using Google Workspace and Google AI tools to support instruction, collaboration, organization, and classroom productivity while also being prepared to complete the Level 1 certification process.
