G Suite for Edu - A boon during Pandemic times

The past 5 plus months have been a very difficult period for everyone including schools all over the world. But, in spite of the difficulties, teachers have reached their students through online connectivity. They tried all possible means and tools to teach their children including Whatsapp, Google Classroom and Meet. The comfort, ease, and completeness they found in GSuite Account for Education were not anywhere else. During this period, I undertook the responsibility of setting up GSuite Accounts for a number of schools from Delhi-NCR, BulandShahr, and Agra and was successful in fully-fledged implementation in eight schools. I conducted GSuite Administrators training and Google Tools training for many teachers. Now, these teachers make use of Google Classroom for posting Quiz, Assignments, and Materials along with day to day live classes on meet. Teachers are also exchanging best practices meets, conducting Parent-Teacher Meetings, departmental meetings, organizing inter/intra-school events, etc. using this platform. GSuite has actually provided all possible tools to conduct everything virtually including the teaching of yoga, music, and dance.
