Introductions!

ZC — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 19:25:40 GMT

A heart formed with the word "welcome" in many languages.

Welcome to the Global Google Educator Group, a space for educators around the world to connect, learn, and collaborate.

Please take a moment to introduce yourself.

Please share your name, role, district/country, an area of expertise that you have and one thing you hope to gain through this community.

Hola a todos/as! 👋🏼

Estoy desconcertado porque llevo casi dos años visitando frecuentemente el hub de Google for Education y todavía acabo de descubrir ahora mismo este espacio llamado 'Google Educator Community' (hasta ahora mi actividad principal la desarrollo en 'Champions hub'). Por curiosidad: ¿este espacio es de reciente creación? ¿está abierto a cualquier educador de Google, o se necesita algún requisito para formar parte del mismo?

Me presento, que para eso es esta conversación:

🙋🏻‍ Soy FranChu Alonso
🇪🇸 Profesor en Educación Secundaria de Ciencias y Tecnología, en León (norte de España)
💡 Google Certified Trainer & Innovator (VIA22 EMEA)
🤗 Estoy encantado de formar parte de esta comunidad, para mi ser un educador certificado por Google es algo muy positivo tanto a nivel personal como profesional.
🚀 Espero poder conectar con otros educadores para debatir, reflexionar, compartir y aprender juntos.

Thank you for introducing yourself to the community, @FranChu ! You are exactly right that this is a new community that's open to all educators. We just silently launched it a few days ago, and you discovered it before any of our announcements - congratulations! 🏆

@ZC will be inviting members of the Champions Hub to join soon. Please invite any colleagues who may be interested to join the Google Educators Community and contribute to the conversations we'll be having in this space.

Welcome, FranChu!

It's great to have you join the GEC. Yes, this is an all-new community, launched just a few weeks ago. It is open to all Google educators of all levels with no requirements to join.

I hope you, as a Champion, will encourage all Google educators with whom you work to join the space and introduce themselves!

Hello, Harpreet! It's great to have you with us!

As you join the GEC, what's one thing you'r hoping to learn about or improve upon as an educator this year?

Re: Introductions!

FranChu — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 21:19:18 GMT

Por supuesto que sí @ZC , por mi parte daré a conocer esta comunidad todo lo posible: creo que es el lugar idóneo para todos aquellos educadores de Google que, sin ser Champions, puedan encontrar aquí un punto de encuentro con otros colegas para aprender, compartir, ayudar y crecer profesionalmente 😃

Hello all! My name is Wes. I support 28 school districts (about 630 schools and 450k students in a few hundred square miles, so mainly an urban/suburban region) in Orange County, CA with AI integration. My title is AI Education Lead. Looking forward to connecting and learning more. Three words that guide my work are storytelling, inclusion and innovation. Students guide our work in AI, particularly through our student AI network.

Hiya,

I've spent most of my time in the admin community, which was the first community to arrive on this new platform.

I work as a Workspace administrator in a small municipality in the south of Sweden, where I serve 4000 students and about 1500 staff in preschool, primary school and adult education, managing devices, accounts and all kinds of fun things Workspace related. My title is really IKT-pedagog, which means I am here to help the teaching staff with anything tech, related to their teaching. I'm also deeply involved with system integrations for all staff in the municipality, another thousand people.

I'm the Share Captain of the Swedish Google Educator group, GEG Sweden, which has been around for over 10 years. I am a Google Develop Expert (GDE, previously Cloud Champion) and a Google for Education Certified Innovator (from the first round of online Innovators during Covid back in 2020, VIA20).

I like to learn things and help other people do the things I've learnt, so don't be surprised if you've seen me before, as I'm usually a member everywhere. 😎
