They are also working with WestEd to set up the “ GoogleTeacherAcademy“, a one-day event at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, CA. At the end of the session, participants will become “ Google Certified Teachers.”

The first Google Teacher Academy is on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2006, but as they are still taking baby steps, it is only open to Northern California educators of K-12. This includes teachers, administrators, and tutors. The event is free. If you are interested, you need to answer two questions (50 words or less) as well as create a one-minute video. See here. Applications must be submitted using Google’s online form and are due Oct. 22, 2006.
