Google Staff Training & Development

Key Messages

• Start by introducing Google Drive so that teachers can access files from any device anywhere without the need for a memory pen.

• Create a Teacher’s Professional Learning folder so that teachers can access training as and when it is applicable to them.

• For quality assurance and for moderating work create an ICT evidence folder where teachers can place work. This is also invaluable for beginning teachers.
