Google Japan YouTube Playlist

GEG新宿をはじめとした複数のGEGで遠隔授業に役立つアプリの紹介動画やウェビナー動画を公開してくださっています。

代表して、GEG新宿の小池則行先生からコメントをいただきました。

日本でも、新型ウィルス感染拡大防止の対策として通学ができない状態が続いても、学習者の学ぶ機会を喪失させない、また孤立させないプラットフォームとしてオンラインサービスの活用の注目度が上がり始めています。GEG Programなどの国を越えた有志教育者の活動をはじめ、学校組織として何ができるか、を考える教員の輪が広がりつつあることを実感しています。

学習者の学びを止めない、そして、いつか、そう遠くないうちに、いつでも学びたいときに学ぶことができる、そんな環境が普通になる日が来るのを夢見ているひとりです。

YouTube 再生リストはこちら

GEG Shinjuku and other GEGs have started creating and publishing tutorial videos and webinar videos. We have put together these videos and created a GEG Japan playlist. We hope these videos will be helpful for teachers who are starting Distance Learning for the first time.

Here is Norio from GEG Shinjuku with his message -

COVID-19 is also affecting Japan and many schools have decided to shut down. To support the learning, online services are starting to be used as a platform. Borderless activities by individual educators like GEG Programs are making the teachers think what they can do as an institution. I hope students’ online learning is accessible to everyone in the near future, and that will allow the learners to study anytime they want.

Here is the YouTube playlist.

Caravan to Fukuoka

まだGEG が存在しない土地にリーダーが出向き、その地域の先生と共にワークショップを行うイベントである、GEG Caravan が福岡県の東福岡高校で2月23日(日)に行われました。

今回は69名の方(国公立学校29名、私立学校35名、教育センター3名、その他2名)が参加され、熱い議論を交わしました。

当日はGEG Leader のトークセッションや、ワークショップなど、G Suite を活用した授業アイデアの交換やディスカッションを行いました。G Suite を初めて利用する先生も多く、終了後は「もっと学びたい!」という嬉しい言葉をたくさんいただきました。

今後もGEG Caravan を通して日本のICTを活用した教育の推進と発展を支えたいと思います。

On February 23rd, GEGs (mainly in Osaka region) traveled to Fukuoka Prefecture where currently there is no GEG. 69 educators (29 public school teachers, 35 private school teachers, 3 from BOE and 2 others) joined the workshop and exchanged practical tips and ideas. Feedback showed it was well received and the educators are keen for more continuously learning to follow! We look forward to seeing more visits in the future to support ICT use across Japan.
