Google Teacher Academy - preperations
Kategori: Allmänt
On Tuesday and Wednesday 10-11/12, I´m very proud to attend the Google Teacher Academy (GTA), this time in Stockholm. It isn´t that easy to get in, but now I´m in. Here´s a bit info over what it is.
There´s not so many GTA around the world but theese 2 days will provide 7 more Google Certified Teachers from Sweden. We will be at the Google HQ.

As I have expanded my PLN (personal learner network) via Twitter and since I was in Maine the spring of 2011 I then got connected to Alice Barr. I saw that there was going to be a GTASWE via her twitter feed. Thank you, Alice!
The application it self was not that hard to fill out, but the final part was a bit more of a challenge, a one-minute video. The topic was "Positive change in my community" and 1 minute is VERY short. I started out with writing a script. Which I had to shorten a numerous of times
Here´s my 1-minute video that was required as a very important thing in the application.
My team during the two days is lead by an experienced Google Certified Teacher from Finland. As a preperation we have had a HangOut to get to know each other.
The welcome package from GTA included a lot of things. One was a request for participation at a kind of a demoslam for 3-5 minutes each. I said yes and one of my suggestions was approved. Here´s my base for those 3-5 minutes.
I will be back during and after the 2 days, always writing in english.
