Well it has taken me almost the entire 90 days but I did finish all 6 of the exams to become a qualified. I did learn a lot and I was really glad that I set that as a personal goal. Going through all of the apps and reading got me very prepared for the training session I helped organized for my high school. I felt very confident that I would be able to answer questions that individuals had. What I became more concerned about closer to that day was "did I help to prepare my peers who were assisting me in presenting enough". This though and worry did cause me to lose some sleep and eat more chocolate. In the end it went great and we got some great feedback on what was liked.
In my latest meeting with my Ninja trainers from Seymour I am looking at offering a Lunch and Learn where I would go over some Google "stuff" during lunch in my computer lab. Nancy tossed out the idea of calling "Gobble with Google". I am now looking at planning the course of presentations and trying to market this to my district.
The techie people I talk to think it will go over and people will attend, only time will tell.
I can certainly tell that I am glad to have taken myself down the road of become Google Apps Education Individual Qualified. Now I just have to become a Google Certified Teacher. I am ready for the challenge of making that video.
On my hours count it is mid/end February and I have for the school year a total of 1448.5 hours in already (if I did the math right counting for 40 hour work weeks that would be already 9 months worked).
