Lisa - There is information on how to become a Google Certified Teacher on the Google website...just "google" it! The online application would involve a list of the teacher's units/presentations that show outstanding technology integration...especially that involving Google Apps. There are a limited number of teachers accepted into this at any one time. The Google Trainer work I am completed must be redone every year. All that being said, if your district (or an individual or two) has an interest in this, probably one of the earliest things to do would be to see if the entire building has some interest in setting up the Google domain...this would change ur email access, which you may know about... Scott Fosseen is a good resource on the schools/district using Google Apps/Domain info. Let me know where/how you proceed...perhaps I can provide some training on these areas. Dorothy
