IT Services for Schools and Academies
Teachers need access to the right tools to help deliver the best education. As school IT specialists, Soft Egg have partnered up with Google to make sure every resource you and your students need is available, on-demand, so you can teach wherever you are and with any device from any location.
Google for Education, otherwise known as G Workspace for Education, provides a central hub for learning. Set tasks for the whole class or for groups of pupils (to differentiate learning) by attaching resources like worksheets or YouTube videos.
Staff and pupils can log in on a computer, tablet or mobile device (using the Google Classroom app).
Pupils complete tasks in Google Classroom using tools like Google Docs and Google Sheets.
Set up automatic email digests to parents. These can be daily or
weekly, and summarise class activity and work that's due or overdue.
Google's Workspace for Education has plenty of resources to offer that you probably know and use some of them now. When we talk to you, we will help you to understand exactly which options you need. Here are just a few of the programs you might be running now or in the future
Video-call up to 250* staff members at once in your web browser or on the Google Meet app. Your device will need at least a microphone to do this (and a camera if you want to show video). Give presentations remotely by sharing your screen.
Send private messages to staff members in your web browser or on the mobile app. You can also make group conversations with multiple staff members.
Create a class and invite your teachers to it to make a virtual staff room. Send them updates using the 'Stream' (it looks a bit like a social media timeline/feed).
Google Classroom
Make announcements to a class, groups of pupils, or the whole school. These appear in the 'Stream' section.
Give
pupils feedback on tasks they've completed. Comments appear in
real-time, so pupils can see your marking before you hand work back to
them.
Video or voice-call pupils - you can do this within Classroom.
