Google Workspace Level 1: Self-Paced Course

This course is designed for staff and administrators that missed out on Google Apps training and have been "just getting by" with what they know. A self-paced course allows participants to learn on their own schedule with materials organized in a 6 week structure, but could be done all in a single day!

Google Workspace Level 2: Self-Paced Course

Build on what you know! Take the basics of your Google Apps and use add-ons and extensions to take your skills to the next level!  Join us for a deep dive into Google Forms to gather data and automate processes based on responses.

 

 

 

 

 

With over 50 school districts in Northern Indiana ESC's, we are excited to bring back Tech Director Meetings at our area schools.  Build relationships with tech leaders in area districts to discuss the important topics you face today!  Share resources, vendor references and more.

 

Darlene Kennedy, Director of Technology Integration at Northern Indiana Educational Services Center is passionate about working with K-12 staff comfort with using digital tools and online apps that increase efficiency and impact education.  She provides in-person staff PD, virtual courses, and self-paced learning opportunities that are available to everyone or can be customized to a school district's needs.

She leads meetings for school tech directors, network administrators, and state reporters that create valuable networking opportunities, discussions, and purchasing opportunities to drive down pricing.

Darlene strongly believes that you don't need to know all the answers, you just need to know where to go to find them.
