@image /content/dam/pebblegodev/blog/blog-certification-suite.png PebbleGo Premier digital literacy platform with interactive articles and learning tools that grow with elementary readers. Educators are often asked to adopt new digital tools quickly, with limited time for training and little consistency across buildings or roles. Even with high-quality resources like PebbleGo, it can be challenging to find time for meaningful professional learning that builds confidence, supports consistent use, and works within busy schedules. That need for flexible, reliable support is what led us to create the [b]PebbleGo Educator Certification Program[/b], a free, on-demand learning opportunity created for our PebbleGo Community. This course is designed for educators, librarians, and school leaders who want to deepen their understanding of the PebbleGo suite and confidently use it to support K–5 instruction. @h6 What Is the PebbleGo Educator Certification Program? The PebbleGo Educator Certification Program is a self-paced online course that walks participants through the full PebbleGo suite, including PebbleGo, PebbleGo Next, Capstone Interactive eBooks, Creation Tools, and Educator Tools. Through short training videos, guided walkthroughs, and brief knowledge checks, educators learn how to navigate the platform, explore key features, and apply tools in real classroom and library settings. This program is available at no cost and is open exclusively to official PebbleGo Community members. Whether your school is new to PebbleGo or you have been using it for years, the course is designed to meet you where you are. @image /content/dam/pebblegodev/blog/blog-certification-curriculum.png PebbleGo certification course page showing self-paced professional learning for teachers and librarians. @h6 What Educators Will Learn Throughout the course, participants will: * Build a clear understanding of how the PebbleGo suite works together across products and grade levels * Learn how students search for, read, and interact with articles and eBooks * Discover tools that support research, literacy, and content-area instruction * Understand how Creation Tools support student creation, reflection, and sharing * Review educator and administrator tools that support planning, instruction, and content management * Understand available access and integration options, including direct links and supported rostering methods The course is flexible and can be completed in one sitting or revisited over time.

For educators, certification is a way to recognize the time and effort they’ve invested in learning the PebbleGo suite. It helps educators feel more confident using PebbleGo day to day, share best practices with colleagues, and clearly document professional growth through a certificate and a shareable certification badge. For schools and districts, the course serves as a ready-to-use professional learning resource. It can support building-level training, onboarding new staff, or introducing new PebbleGo products or features. Because the course is self-paced and consistent, it helps ensure shared understanding across teams without adding to facilitation or planning time. Educators who successfully complete the course earn a [b]certificate of completion[/b], which may be used toward [b]CEU credits[/b], depending on district or state requirements. Participants also receive a downloadable PebbleGo Educator Certification badge to share in email signatures, professional portfolios, or on LinkedIn. @h6 Ready to Become a PebbleGo Pro?
