Course Materials/Curriculum Resources
You'll need headphones pretty frequently to watch videos on the Google Classroom or through online curriculum, so make sure you always have a pair of those one you. If you'd prefer to leave them with me, that's okay too.
Google Digital Garage Digital Garage by Google an online learning platform that is intended to increase your knowledge of all things digital, from website and tracking to online marketing and beyond. We will be using this website frequently as curriculum.
Google Certifications The Google Ads certification is a professional accreditation that Google offers to individuals who demonstrate proficiency in basic and advanced aspects of Google Ads. A Google Ads certification allows individuals to demonstrate that Google recognizes them as an expert in online advertising. You can earn the certification through Academy for Ads, Google's online training program. Throughout the semester, we will use Google's Academy for Ads to access online courses and grow our advertising skills. We will work through trainings and gain achievements to earn a Google Ads certification by the end of the course. PARENTS: Let me know if you'd like to get updates from this classroom!
