GEG Brazil Meetup

On May 25, GEG Brazil led a meetup with GEG Leaders to set up strategies to help more educators to move to a digital environment using Google tools. More than 70 leaders joined the discussion - which included how to indicate the most important features of crucial G Suite tools considering teachers, students, and parents without previous experiences, how Google for Education and Official Certifications can support the process, and much more. GEG Brazil will also start a new series of GEG On Air to bring to the community's attention important topics, tips, and experiences that can impact educators positively.

GEG Varginha Leading Training in Brazil

GEG Varginha, supported by GEG Brazil, led qualification sessions for 67 teachers in the municipality and some of these educators are already applying to become a Google Educator Level 1. The intention is to keep leading more of these training sessions this year to offer the opportunity of qualification to other educators in order to take the most advantage of Google for Education solutions. Important support on this process came from the Municipal Department of Education, which allowed teachers to join the training within their working hours. Congratulations to everyone involved!
