The Ninjaprogram.com website was started by technology advocate and educator, Jeff Utecht, author of thethinkingstick.com blog.
The Ninja Program is geared towards educators and students. If you are in a Google Apps for Education school it can be overwhelming. Google has tons of great tools and options. Signing up for the Ninja Program can help manage the learning curve of all these great tools. What I like most is that it is geared towards education, specifically using it in the classroom. The module setup breaks it down into easy pieces. Getting "belts" and points for passing tests incorporates some great gamification tools that make it fun and incorporates some competition.
Information management and literacy are such important skills for us to help our students understand. Module 1 in the Ninja Program will help you become a power searcher. The video below is a great overview of one of the resources that is introduced. Good luck grasshoppers!
