G Suite - "Certifiably" Amazing!

As we all move forward in the Google world, you might be interested in some of the available Google Certifications for educators. These certifications are available to anyone, and are exam-based, for the most part. There are currently 4 Google Certifications available, Educator Level 1, Educator Level 2, Google Certified Trainer, and Google Certified Innovator.
There are very good study materials available to prepare you to pass the certification exams, many from Google themselves.
In fact, if you spend time on their training website, you can get all the info you need to earn your certifications.
I'd encourage everyone who is using the Google tools to go through at least the first (and possibly second) levels available. The process of preparing for the exams really forces you to dive deep into the G Suites tools, and really learn all the things they can do.  This will help you immensely in integrating our available tech into your instruction.

Here are links to some great resources:
