Google certification?

As of the 15th of April, I am thrilled to announce that I earned a Google certification. I am a Google certified educator. The certification acknowledges my technical expertise with Google apps.

With this certificate, I will apply to become a Google certified Innovator. With that, I have access to a lot of colleges who are using the Google products on a similar level.

What I learned during the process

It was quite challenging with a wide range of elements including;

• Engage in professional growth and leadership
• Increase efficiency and save time
• Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity

Let’s start with Collaborative Playlists!

Personal music taste, my students find it fascinating.
And I was fascinated by their fascination and started a small experiment. A collaborative playlist on Spotify called Moorlag Playlist monkey emoticon. I’ll be adding music and reviewing the content my students (and followers on Instagram) provide me with.

Questions I have asked myself

• How does this affect my personal taste?
• What does it do with the classroom/public opinion with certain artists?
• How can I connect content with this playlist?
• How to set up a collaborative playlist on Spotify?

What does it do with the classroom/public opinion with certain artists?

How can I connect content with this playlist?

With a playlist filled with other peoples music taste, and 9 followers of that playlist I found that the content is starting to connect. 4 hours and 19 minutes of music. The playlist is now filled by 11 people. 62 songs; 6 of them marked as explicit. I wonder where this will end?
