Speakers: Steve Hope, head of independent learning, Leeds City College Kirri Gooch, regional education manager, Google. Join this hands-on session, where you’ll discover how the range of Google education products enhances learning in FE colleges, without causing IT headaches for the students and staff using them. Hear about FE success stories, where colleges have made a huge difference to student engagement, academic results and the lives of teachers to provide inspiration and guidance on how your college can do the same. You will leave this session with: a working knowledge of Google’s tools for education, including Classroom, G Suite and Chromebooks for learning, anytime, anywhere; practical ideas for engaging activities and methods of assessments designed specifically for an FE environment and the inspiration and motivation you need to empower key staff to drive digital transformation in your college.

● Staff use a wide range of excellent resources, including
innovative digital platforms, to motivate students,
extend their knowledge and enable them to develop
good independent study skills (Ofsted Feb ‘18)
● Teachers use innovative digitally enhanced learning to
enable students to make good progress in and out of
the classroom. Students frequently access online
learning platforms from home and in the college ’s
network of independent learning zones (Ofsted Feb ‘18)

10. Providing Basic training sessions
for staff who were interested and
keen to use technology in the
classroom.

Started with a small pilot in

ROLE MODEL USAGE
START THE STUDENTS
EARLY
FLEXIBLE LEARNING
SPACES
LEARN OUTSIDE THE
CLASSROOM
If staff are comfortable to deliver using G suite
then student are more supported and this has
led to students feeling supported in and out of
class, leaving no time for distractions which
has led to a decrease in late submissions
of work.
Using Chromebooks instead of fixed PCs mean
that learning spaces are flexible and
interchangeable. With the Chromebooks being
portable and having a long battery life they can
be taken and used in spaces which traditionally
were not learning spaces at all.
If you get the students using the G suite
platform from induction they become familiar
with the system and it becomes normality very
quickly. Students do a geocache/photo
activity using all the tools as one of their first
tasks in induction. This has decreased the
dropout rate in the first 6 weeks.
The students can access G Suite from
anywhere and on any device, which has led
to an increase in student retention and
pushed learning to be 24-7 not just office
hours.

What we do and
How we do it

14. Just enforcing the move
to Google doesn’t
always work. Staff need
to have training, support
and guidance for it to be
used effectively. Get that
right and it’s a game
changer

24. Google is great because when you get activities set, it is easier to complete and you can do it on any device. It
is better than my old school as we didn't have anything as good as Google so we had to do nearly all of our
homework on paper. Google has helped me in my vocational coursework because all of our work gets put up
on there so if we miss any we can catch up. This means we don't fall behind.

25. The students see using technology through Google Drive, Google Hangouts, and the rest of G
suite as a "cool" way of learning, but on the flip side as a teacher we thrive on the positivity of
students completing work
