 | Google Apps for Education Certified Trainer Becoming a Google Apps for Education Certified Trainer has allowed me to train teachers and administrators how to incorporate Google Apps for Education into their classrooms. I have had the opportunity to work with neighboring districts and at the college level at Wright State University. This training has given me an opportunity to meet and collaborate with many educators that has left me a stronger educator. Google Apps for Education is a collection of applications for K-12 and higher education institutions. Applications include Google Docs, Sites, Mail, Calendar, Groups, Maps and more. Google Apps for Education integration has allowed students to work collaboratively on a single presentation or document while on different computers in different locations creating one cohesive document in real time. When using Google Apps, teachers can give students direct and specific feedback on papers and assignments anytime, and students can make corrections and additions and resubmit work without waiting for class to begin.
