Since the Department for Education began authorising funding for schools to enable cloud learning, we've been asked what the funding can help with. Here's more on why schools should embrace a Google Learning environment and utilise the DFE funding pool.
Teach Remotely using Google Meet
Video calls within Google Classroom with pupils, keeping the teacher in control of the room
Video call with up to 250 staff members from a Chrome browser
Use Google Chat to send private messages to staff or create group conversations
Assign work using Google Classroom
Handout work digitally using Google Classroom assignments and grade them in the same place
Utilising existing resources such as word docs and pdfs that are already in your Google Drive
Ask questions within the Class and differentiate learning resources between specific students quickly and easily
Store it all in Google Drive
Completely unlimited cloud storage for each user
Can store anything from pdf up to large media format video projects
Links directly to others apps in G Suite and other apps you may use already
Self Marking Assessment using Google Forms
Create easy surveys and quizzes within Google forms and distribute them through Google Classroom
Create your answer keys so the quiz can mark itself with multiple question formats available
Analyse results quickly with Google forms directly integrating data collection into Google Sheets
Preserve Student Safety
Google Admin console allows you to control what parts of GSuite students experience while logged into a school account
Google Meet can allow a teacher to record all calls so you have an audit trail in case of safeguarding concerns
Google Vault and Google Drive provide the ability to search and export data on a user basis to help understand interactions that happened with GSuite applications
