Google Educator L2 study plan

Map Domain 1 into its sub-areas (differentiation, personalization, data-driven instruction, assessment design, digital citizenship, accessibility) and rate your current confidence 1-5 per sub-area

Audit three of your own existing lessons and label which SAMR level each currently sits at

Configure a Google Classroom section with differentiated assignment paths (must-do / should-do / aspire-to-do) and topic grouping

Set up a personal evidence log (Doc or Sheet) with columns for artifact link, domain, sub-area, and reflection

Build a Google Forms assessment that uses branched sections or answer-based navigation to route students to remediation or extension

Connect Forms responses to a Google Sheets dashboard with formulas or conditional formatting that flag students below mastery

Design and attach a rubric in Classroom that students use for peer review before submission

Write three feedback comment banks (strength, next step, question) you can reuse across assignments

Create a Google Slides hyperdoc or choice board offering at least three pathways to the same learning objective

Apply accessibility practices: alt text on images, captions on video, heading structure in Docs, and a screen-reader check with a tool like ChromeVox

Differentiate one text using leveled Docs with embedded read-aloud and vocabulary support

Draft a short digital citizenship mini-lesson tied to a real class moment (citation, sharing, or online safety)

Analyze a class data set (Forms, Sheets, or Classroom grades) and write a one-page instructional response plan for two learner groups

Automate one recurring workflow with Apps Script or a Sheets formula chain (e.g., progress report generation)

Configure Google Meet breakout rooms, polls, and recording for a differentiated small-group session

Complete a timed mixed practice set of at least 30 Domain 1 scenario questions and log missed concepts

Configure Google Classroom settings deliberately: grading periods, grade categories, originality reports, guardian summaries, and co-teacher permissions

Build a Drive structure with shared drives, naming conventions, and permission tiers that you can explain to a colleague

Set up a Google Calendar with appointment slots and resource booking for student conferences

Document your organization's Workspace for Education Fundamentals limits (storage, user tiers, core vs. additional services)

Build a collaborative Docs workflow using comments, suggestion mode, version history, and assigned action items

Create a Sheets gradebook or tracker using named ranges, data validation, VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP, and a pivot table summary

Design a Slides template with master layouts that enforces consistent branding and layout for student use

Run a Meet session testing host controls, live captions, Q&A, and attendance tracking

Integrate one Workspace tool chain end-to-end: Forms to Sheets to Slides to Classroom as a single student-facing workflow

Write three scenario responses in the exam's style, each citing the specific tool feature that solves the stated problem

Review your evidence log and fill any sub-area gaps with one new artifact each

Complete a timed full-length mixed practice set and record your score by domain

Re-drill only the sub-areas scoring below 80% on the week 7 practice set

Rehearse explaining each artifact in your evidence log in two sentences: what it does, which domain it proves

Take one final timed mixed practice set under exam conditions and review every missed item's rationale

Finalize a one-page pre-exam reference sheet of tool-to-scenario pairings
