This event will bring you the latest in educational technology, with some very exciting developments from the Google for Education portfolio, free CPD certified G Suite training, and information regarding Google Security and GDPR. See the full agenda here.
Why is this the event that you shouldn’t miss?
As the vast majority of schools and educators are now aware of Google’s free G Suite for Education platform and applications, now it is time to look deeper. This event will focus on some exciting new developments for Education such as; VR/AR for education, GDPR and Online security with Google, a closer look at how Neverware are transforming older devices into chrome devices, the FBS Google transition and some dynamic hands-on Google Classroom training, using chromebooks.
What are educators looking for when they attend educational technology events?
There are a number of answers to that question, many of which are related to the best use of technology in their classroom and throughout their school. Another key area of interest is saving money and making sound choices with regards to hardware and software for their school. We have also found that all educators want to feel fully engaged with the activities and presentations prepared for that event.
Have you considered these questions when you have been invited to a Google for Education event?
Then please join the Your Cloud Works team, and our Google guests at our free Google for Education event on Thursday 15th November 2018 at Fulham Boys School. We have a limited number of spaces available, but if you would like a number of teachers from your school to register please contact us to discuss the options.
