In order to improve our abilities to collaborate and fully realize the efficiencies that technology can provide, we offer the opportunity for all faculty and Instructional Assistant members of our school to complete the Google for Education certification Level 1. There is an option of completing the Level 2 certification as well. 

See below for the specific information on the two Google Certifications available.   

Google Level 1 Certifications

Google Level 1 Educator Certification is an online learning opportunity with a final task of a timed test at the completion of the professional development course. Level 1 educator certification provides an overview of Google Apps within an educational context, allowing for greater fidelity of use for students and teachers. 

• 1. Start the Training: Even if you are an experienced user of Google Products, it is important to at least survey the training. Google is constantly updating its products and services and those updates are represented on the exam.

  2. Review for the Exam: The exam is a long test with a 3-hour window. Without review, test-takers will run out of time. Use these task cards to help review for the exam and get your mind in the right gear. 

     • Google Educator Level 1 Basic Tasks

     • Additional short practice questions

     • Understand how Google Apps for education supports teaching and learning. What tool would you use and when?

     • Review the end of unit questions

     • Review the major skills we learned.  

     • Review the Skills Checklist

  3. Sign up for the Exam: The process of signing up for the exam is complicated. 

     • First, you need a code. Please contact ddajani@acsamman.edu.jo for an exam code.

     • Second, you need to create a Kryterion exam id. This is a unique Google Address for the exam. Use this resource as a guide to logging into the exam and the exam itself.

Google Level 2 Certifications

Google Level 2 Educator Certification provides a greater depth of understanding of the various Google platform options. The updated focus of Google Level 2 is the application of Google tools in education; not the acquisition of tool based skills. Again, the course culminates with a 3-hour exam.  While it is possible to take it cold if you are experienced in the platform, there is great value in completing the training modules that lead to the exam.
