The Google Teacher Academy is coming to South East Asia for the first time this October. Open to all primary and secondary school teachers in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, the program is designed to help educators get the most out of new technologies in the classroom. If you like to innovate in your classroom using Google’s tools and more, this is the right program for you. Submissions are open until August 29, so get your applications in now.

The Academy will take place in Manila on October 2 and 3. Over these two days, you’ll get hands-on experience with Google’s free tools, learn about innovative instructional strategies and receive resources to share with colleagues.

He continues to lean on the network for advice and materials to help make it easier to get kids to adopt new, tech-based approaches to education. GTA has showed him how much more room there is for tech in learning, and inspired him to further develop his teaching style, enabling him to evolve professionally.

We look forward to meeting more like-minded teachers at the first South East Asian Academy!
