The 2022-2023 school year will be my 23rd year in education. When I started teaching, my classroom had a chalkboard (not a whiteboard or SmartBoard), and there wasn't a computer in my classroom.  Attendance was taken on slips of paper and placed in an envelope on our door, and the morning announcements were copied and placed in our mailboxes each morning.  We received a Gradebook for grades and attendance, and a Lesson Plan book at the beginning of each school year. Cell phones weren't a thing, and Google was less than two years old! 

Now, I'm a Google Certified Teacher with a goal to become a Google Certified Trainer and a certified Computer Science teacher in the coming year.

Ask me about Google Certification! If I can do it, anyone can!
