Volunteer students preparing for #GEGAndalucía

On March 20 and 21 Seville will host the #GEGAndalucía event in @ColePortaceli. Over 300 teachers will meet and share ideas to improve education but this would not be possible without the great help of the students who collaborate as volunteers.

The volunteers have decorated the school and placed all the signage. During the event, they are in charge of the schedule running to plan, everything being organised and ensuring the participants feel comfortable.

In short, volunteer students are indispensable in an event like this. For their selfless help, THANK YOU.


Collaborative efforts against COVID-19 impact on Education Community

GEG Leaders, Google Innovators and Google for Education Partners are working hard to support the education community in Brazil during this tough moment with the spread of Coronavirus. Best practices and materials are being shared:
  • A Google Classroom was created to share tips, tools and ideas from educators to educators on distance learning (classroom.google.com / code: 42syyuc). We already reached the full capacity of the first room and opened the 2nd: xr6zmqv. A @gmail.com account needs to be used to get access.
  • Collaborative Document with Strategies and Resources for Online Education:
  • Google Innovators in Brazil are opening 30 minutes slots in their agendas for 1:1 Hangouts for mentoring colleagues across the country.
  • A Live on the GEG Brazil channel on March 18th, 7pm (BRT) with the participation of GEG leaders and Innovators.
  • For teachers and educators who wish to contribute with any material or resource, we have opened a form to collect contributions - the more the better!
  • Our amazing partners mobilized and developed content, structured lives, online support and many other ways to support not only their customers but also extended these resources to unlimited access. Their contents are also available in the GEG Brasil Classroom (code: xr6zmqv).
A big thanks for everyone who is contributing!
