I think I would consider myself still relatively new to the Local Guides program. I have yet to do anything “interesting” as a guide. But I have found that I enjoy answering questions about my community to help out other people. But if I had to pin point a moment that stands out to me as a Local Guide, it would probably be getting the email from Google saying that one of my photos had been viewed ten of thousands of times! It was such a cool feeling to know that, I, just a simple elementary school teacher, had one of my photos viewed that many times!
As an educator, I teach the importance of community to children. To me, the Local Guides program is a beautiful creation that meshes the art of digital citizenship and ones commitment to their community.
