The Kenya national newspaper, The Daily Nation, wrote that Google Classroom is now the most used educational platform in Kenya. The Centre for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA), which aims to build the capacity of mathematics and science teachers for effective classroom practices in Sub-Saharan Africa adopted Google Classroom for its continuous teacher capacity building.
When the Kenyan government closed schools in the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an urgent need to continuously support the GEG Kenya community through remote and distance learning modes and initiatives. As a result, GEG Kenya members, leaders and other education coalition partners collectively organized bi-weekly edWebinars via Google Meet, to help mitigate the effects of COVID-19 pandemic
GEG Kenya has seen tremendous growth in other various chapters and communities across Kenya : GEG Nairobi, GEG Mombasa, GEG Nakuru, GEG Kiambu, and GEG Laikipia respectively.
The GEGs are led by an enthusiastic and inspiring team of Instructional Technology Coaches, notably: Bernadette Kiarie, Rosemary Onyancha, Michael Njogu, Grace Irungu, Samuel Mwangi, Clarice Bwanga and Fred Sagwe.
GEG Kenya, also collaborated with the American Spaces (Moi University-Nairobi Campus) to offer GSuite for Education virtual edWebinars to empower their members.
