University Pre-Service Teachers

I’d like to help your candidates pursue official Google Certification. This certification will enhance your future teachers’ credentials for their upcoming job searches as well as increase their impact and effectiveness in their future classrooms.

As part of a select group of Google Certified Trainers collaborating directly with Google to bring top-notch professional development on technology to pre-service teachers, I’m working with Google for Education to offer university pre-service teachers and pre-service administrators training on real-time collaboration and Google educational tools.

Look over the program overview and feel free to share it with other members of your faculty.

Teacher Education Program Overview

Over the last few years, schools in the state have embraced Chromebooks and G Suite for Education. Districts are expecting teachers to incorporate real-time collaboration into teaching and to be adept with its tools. My goal is to empower your budding teachers to understand real-time collaboration and confidently discuss and effectively employ its tools now and in their future positions. The Google Certified Educator Level 1 program, which I hope to work with you to offer your pre-service teachers, can ready your candidates by introducing Google Workspace tools in the context of effective and thoughtful lesson design, focusing on the 4Cs in education: collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking.

Are you interested? I hope so! I'd love to schedule a time to meet and discuss how we can work together to prepare your future teachers to use instructional technology meaningfully and efficiently.

I'm excited about helping your future teachers leverage powerful technologies for classroom impact so they are as prepared and knowledgeable as possible when they enter the job market and their future classrooms. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this opportunity. I can be reached directly at nic@blendedtechlearning.com
