Greenwood Teacher to Become Google for Education Certified Innovator
The program begins with an Innovation Academy at Google headquarters in Mountain View, CA, from February 24-26.
34 participants from around the world were selected for the Certified Innovator program based on their professional experience, their passion for teaching and learning, their innovative use of technology in school settings, and their potential impact on other educators. Applicants completed a rigorous application process, including creating a YouTube video, writing a project proposal and designing a "dream" classroom.
At the Innovation Academy participants will discover how to unlock creativity, translate insights into solutions, experiment rapidly and build an effective innovation culture in schools and organizations. Participants will come away with practical approaches, valuable tools and techniques, and the beginnings of an Innovation Project.
Leslie is thrilled to have been selected for this program, which in a way has already begun: she and her fellow participants recently received boxes with game pieces in the mail (including locked boxes, cards and secret messages written in UV light ink). She's excited to see what else Google has in store, and looks forward to updating the community on her experience.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
