Forest Street uses the Google for Education suite of apps. This gives students the freedom to be collaborative in their learning – both with their teacher and with other students. Many students and their teacher can all be accessing and working on a single document at the same time. For more information on Google Apps for Education, click here.
The Google for Education apps includes Google Classroom – an online resource centre where teachers can post and moderate learning tasks and assignments. This also gives students a place to communicate with other students, and their teachers.
Google Apps for Education can be thought of as the tools that make learning easier.
Al students participate in “Google Academy“. This is guided learning on how each of the apps are used and how they can benefit student learning. Just like a builder must know how to use their tools to build a house, our students learn how to use the tools available for them to achieve their goals.
