Summary

In spring 2018, the Campus Advisors program was launched to help teachers master Git and GitHub, providing them with 10 hours of self-paced training to become resources for their peers. The inaugural class of Advisors includes educators from various global locations, such as the Sorbonne in Paris and Federal University Lafia in Nigeria. The training emphasizes using GitHub Classroom, automation, and continuous integration tools, fostering collaboration, and helping students create portfolios. Participants like Michael Crabb and Ivone Bennett have found the resources, such as the GitHub Education forum, immensely supportive, while Richard Barnett praised the Classroom Assistant's feature to clone all assignments simultaneously. The training, open to any interested teacher, includes modules on Git basics, individual and group work strategies, and promoting self-directed technical education, with free access to GitHub for schools participating in GitHub for Education.
