Learning with Google 2021

Google recently offered a lengthy session explaining updates in the company’s offerings for education. The event, Learning with Google 2021, was live, but is now available through YouTube. 

The hour and a half presentation was divided into segments – Google Workspace for Education (was G suite), Google classroom, Google Meet, and Chrome. Each segment identified new changes or features and features that will be available for the Fall semester. 

My notes:

Google Workspace for Education – description of levels, cost for premium levels, and features of each level. Free fundamental, Standard level ($3 per student per year), Teaching and Learning upgrade (more for distance education – $4 per option/month), and education plus ($5 per student per year). 

Google classroom – More than a LMS

  • Addons for other tools
  • Student engagement logs
  • Offline option for poor connections
  • Save progress when filling out a form/quiz
  • Citations manager for doc

Google Meet

  • Educator can end Meet for all participants
  • Mute all
  • Teacher must be first in and others must be in class unless teacher approves
  • Works better with low bandwidth
  • Prep breakout rooms in paid version – setup and populate
  • Transcripts
