After a brief Flashmeeting the other night with some other UK teachers, I have been excited to see the level of support that has been shown for a Google Teacher Academy in the UK. 

Currently you can add your name to a growing list (73 already signed up) in this Google Group. We don’t know whether we can convince Google to back a UK version of the GTA, but I think that we will be in a better position to go to them with that question if we can show support for the idea.

Last November I wrote about the idea and it is good to revisit it, as I have experienced the ways Google tools can impact on learning in the classroom. Let’s hope that if we continue to show support for the idea that a better platform for sharing and celebrating our experiences can develop, whether that’s a Google Teacher Academy or otherwise.
