Other Reminders Google Drive Cer$fica$on
If you are planning on taking all five tests and becoming fully cer(fied, then Library Services needs to know, specifically
Nancy. Library services will either pay for all five tests once you've passed them and have turned in your cer(ficates, or
give you two district credits (if you complete all five tests). Once you finish your tests, to become cer(fied through Google
you have to fill out an applica(on and make a video.
If you are planning on taking the Google Drive test only, then the district needs to know. Contact Laura Warren to register.

Google Virtual Field Trips
Google launched a new ini(a(ve on Google+ called Connected Classrooms
(connectedclassrooms.withgoogle.com/) that enables students around the world to
take “virtual field trips” through Google+ Hangouts. It kicked things off November 4
with field trips to the Sea�le Aquarium, the Minnesota Zoo and the Solar Impulse
hangar. Teachers can sign up to take their classrooms on virtual field trips hosted by organiza(ons like Na(onal
Geographic, Ma(lda the Musical, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and more than 20 other partners. The official
blog for the ini(a(ve can be found at goo.gl/ir8pHx.

This site offers educators guides to life in Ancient Egypt, how mummies are made, and
informa(on that can be found in tomb pain(ngs: bit.ly/bri(sh_museum.
The Na$onal Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra$on

Another great site to share with your teachers is NOAA. It offers educa(on
