The Google Teacher Academy (GTA) is coming to Chicago on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2008. The GTA is Google's free training program for K-12 educators. It's an intensive, one-day event (8:30am-7:30pm) where 50 selected participants get hands-on experience with Google's free products and other technologies, learn about innovative instructional strategies, collaborate with exceptional educators, and immerse themselves in an innovative corporate environment.

Upon completion, GTA participants become Google Certified Teachers who share what they learn with other K-12 educators in their local regions. Google is now taking applications and encourages educators from around the U.S. and the world to apply.

Applications are due Aug. 24, 2008. Google's next GTA will be in New York City in November 2008, and the next application is announced in September.
