Google Certified Educator Level 2 is for students who want to become recognized as GCEL2 certified with expertise in Google applications and how to use the apps to improve student learning. Google for Education created GCEL2, which, in their words, “is for those educators who want to prove that they are advanced users with expertise in the use of Google classroom tools.” The curriculum and exam go deeper than GCEL1 in understanding how the apps integrate to enhance learning and productivity. Applications include Documents, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Forms, Gmail, Search, YouTube, Sites, Calendar, Keep, Maps, Earth, Classroom, Chrome, Draw, and Tasks. Students with a current GCEL2 certificate are not required to take the exam or complete the Advanced Training. Previous GCLE1 certification is not a requirement.

The Google for Educators website, YouTube tutorials, and online resources provide free online tutorials and support information. The exam, composed of objective test questions and allows online access, is offered through an outside entity at a nominal cost. It can be taken multiple times.

GCEL2 can be taken for 2 or 3 units. The third unit has hands-on assignments using Google Apps to create an interactive, individualized curriculum. Docs and Slides are the platforms for creating interactive documents and choice boards. You will learn new skills as you incorporate videos, playlists, phone/tablet images, shared media, hyperlinks, voice recordings, videos, dropdowns, smart chips, templates, and how to share your files with students.

This course is applicable towards the Technology Skills for Educators Certificate.

I feel so blessed to have had a job that I totally loved to do each and every day. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching elementary aged students for the past 38 years. I liked not only working with the children, but their families as well. I have made many lifelong connections with many of them. As a teacher, it is such a rewarding feeling to see my students “light come on” and see them understand the objective of the lesson. I was also very fond of working with other teachers and administrators and helping them understand and learn about technology. I always liked integrating technology into my lessons and helping others do the same. This really makes lessons come to life. All my FPU courses are very helpful for teachers to learn how to integrate technology into their classroom lessons. Working with my FPU students is great because they really want to learn and use what they have learned to make their classroom lessons so much better and more meaningful for their students.
