Special Mention: GEG Taiwan and GEG HK

Whilst the ongoing global health crisis develops, initially the Covid19 infections were restricted to a small number of countries. Schools were closing and people were already being put in isolation. The early efforts of GEG Taiwan and GEG HK enabled teachers and students to continue their classes and brought a whole new group of teachers together through Google for Education. Sundar Pichai made special note of this in the recent blog post “COVID-19: How we’re continuing to help”.

Thank you to GEG Taiwan, GEG HK, and all the GEG leaders and members worldwide that have supported (and continue to support) schools, teachers and learners at this time.

GEG HK Connect with Educators from Southern Part of Taiwan!

While Saturday is usually the time when educators restore their energy after a whole week of hard work, Hong Kong & Taiwan educators decided to spice their holiday with some G Suite tools! GEG HK host Google Summit on May 25, while in Taiwan, around 30 educators were attending their first-ever Google Certified Educator Level 1 bootcamp at the same time in Kaohsiung.

The leaders on both sides decided to have educators to have a quick meetup via Google Hangouts. GEG HK opened up a few sessions for Taiwan’s educators to share their experience: GEG Taipei Co-Leader Ruth Yeh talked about her best practices in English Class, and GEG Tainan Leader Andy talked about the journey regarding how the school he worked in, Da-wan High School has become Google Reference School. The principal of Da-wan High School also announced in the hangouts that the school will be hosting Google EDUx Event again on October, 2019, and that all Hong Kong educators are more than welcomed to fly over to Taiwan and join!
