As I watch my friends and colleagues share out their Google Teacher Academy application submissions, I’m reminded of my first and second applications to the GTA. Both times I didn’t put much effort into my Video and both times I didn’t make the cut. On the third try I focused almost entirely on my video and by some miracle squeaked in.
Being a member of the Google Certified Teacher family has been one of the great experiences of my education career. I wish everyone the best of luck and encourage those who don’t happen to make it this time, to keep trying. As I tell my daughter when she makes one of those faces at the Piano, practice, practice, practice. That’s how you get better. And if at first you don’t succeed…

Making my video has been one of the most difficult challenges technologically, I’ve faced. I worked for five days learning KeyNote and iMovie in order to pull off the idea I wanted to portray. If not for GTA I would never have attempted such a feat. I can now say that I have created and edited a video, albeit amateur, I still did it.
