Exams Here I Come

My procrastination is about to come to an end; it's time to get busy.  My plan is to use a large chunk of my Thanksgiving break to take my exams.  Hopefully over the long break I'll be able to complete multiple exams.  I've heard that they can be a little stressful, but I'm fairly confident I can work my way through multiple tests over the time I have available.  I do have some awesome resources to use, along with the fact that I'm pretty knowledgeable to begin with.
Regardless of how many exams I am able to pass next week, I will definitely have them all passed by the end of 2014 to become an official Google Educator.  After that I can begin to focus on building up a better network and online presence to begin work toward acceptance into the GTA.
Just as an extra little thought, I will keep you guys in the loop for a new class I'm going to pitch to Mr. Heath for next year.  Keep in mind, this is just a thought at this moment, but I'd love to know what you guys think about it.  I was thinking that that a really useful class would be a student version of what I'm doing now as a teacher.  A Google Apps for Students course similar to this one.  The focus would be on all of the technical details and more advanced uses of Chrome, Drive, Mail, Calendar, Sites, and other Google Apps and Extensions.  For anyone interested in getting better with Google tools (I know a lot of university professors are utilizing them for work, especially Drive) I would recommend checking out the site.  I think creating a site like this would be both fun for me and really useful for our school, students, and maybe even teachers looking to learn more about Google Apps.  Thoughts?
