What are community-created resources? How are they different from Google courses? Community-created resources are training materials designed and submitted by educators in your region of the world. Community-created resources may include downloadable guides in the form of pdfs, lesson plans, video tutorials, websites, and more. While community-created resources have been reviewed by Google, they do not represent Google-branded training. The community-created resources offered may vary based on your region. They are not available in all regions. Google lessons and courses are trainings designed and certified by Google. Where available, they are accessible regardless of whether your region offers community-created resources. Where can I find more community-created resources? You can browse all available community-created resources in the Course Catalog. I'm new to Google tools – where is the best place for me to start? We recommend starting with the Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals course. It’s designed specifically for beginners and covers the "foundational" tools you’ll use every day, like Classroom, Drive, and Docs. From there, you can choose a "pathway" based on your role, whether you're a K-12 teacher, a higher-ed faculty member, or an IT administrator. Start the Fundamentals course Explore training resources by role Are these courses free, and do they count toward professional development (PD) credit? Yes. All online courses in the Learning Center catalog are free of charge. While Google does not directly issue PD credits, many school districts and universities accept our course completion certificates or digital badges as proof of professional development. We recommend checking with your local administration to see how these hours can be applied towards your specific certification requirements.
