More than a year ago, Google introduced G Suite for Education. Formerly known as Google Apps for Education, the company touted the name change emphasizing "the same intelligent apps you love, with a graduated name."
Schools and districts started using Google Apps for Education more than ten years ago with a vision to help teachers and students share and learn together in innovative ways. As districts like Hollidaysburg (PA), Meriden (CT), Temple (TX) and Yakima (WA) embark on 1:1 initiatives, introduce digital equity for learning, or want to make sure students are safe in the open environment that they live in today, they're turning to Gaggle to keep students safe when using G Suite for Education.
We've highlighted the initiatives of four more school districts in recent Gaggle success stories. Two of the stories include audio clips allowing you to hear directly from a superintendent and instructional technology specialist on the challenges Gaggle Safety Management has helped address and the impact we've made in their districts.
