Teaching Tip: Google provides training for using apps in class

March 23, 2016

Instructors who want to become more adept at using Google Apps with students have a variety of options, including two certification programs, provided by Google. Even if you don’t finish a program, you will have a better understanding of how to use the different Google applications in a meaningful and purposeful manner that relates to activities you could actually do in a classroom.

Faculty are also encouraged to attend ongoing training events by OIT and UAF eLearning. Currently, UAF eLearning leads the number of Google for Education Certified Trainers in Alaska. Find a workshop that fits your busy schedule: http://elearning.uaf.edu/go/facultycalendar.
