I had a wonderful time chatting with Google Certified Teacher Linda Lindsay on Google Rocks! Hawaii Podcast.  I had the added bonus of catching up with Michelle Colte Google Certified Teacher and member of my Google Teacher Academy Sydney 2013 Cohort and meeting Jody Brown.  

We discussed my journey into becoming a Google Certified Teacher and Google Education Trainer.  At 41:50, I share some of my favorite creativity apps.  http://youtu.be/K1vV2h8rR74?t=41m50s
