Google for Education

Google for Education Comes to Spofford!

We are excited to announce the implementation of Google for Education beginning this year at Spofford Pond School.  Google for Education provides many digital tools to enhance the way we use technology and share information within and beyond our school community. Our main objective is to have a place where students can share work, communicate with teachers and save/retrieve projects using laptops, tablets and other devices. We piloted this over the past two school years with grade six students and that went very well!  

Google for Education, a suite of free, cloud-based productivity tools allows us to collaborate and communicate more effectively through the use of technology.  It also offers a range of new learning opportunities for both teachers and students.  Further information about Google for Education can be found at: www.google.com/edu/ and www.google.com/edu/trust/

Technology Essential Questions:

How does this digital tool help improve collaboration and/or communication?

How can technology be used to enhance a project and communicate knowledge?

How can we use this software to create original, innovative works and ideas?
