There is a growing need for the

use of Google Apps for

Education

There is a digital division

between teachers and

technology as some

technological equipment are

difficult to utilize and expensive

to purchase and maintain.

Reedy, G, (2008) conducted a research on the diffusion of technologies and their impact on learning which encourage universities worldwide to adopt Google Apps for Education in their schools and universities.

Intended audience are

teachers and students

in K-12.

Higher Education,

such as colleges and

universities.

The Innovation-Decision Process

Timeline

In February 2006 Google produced Gmail

followed later in the year by an

expansion to Google Apps.

In October Google gave educational

institutions to sign up for the service,

free of charge, and renamed it Google

Apps for Education.

By 2007, Google made all registration

public and all domains using GOOGLE

Apps would get increased storage.

October, 2007, Google announced an

increase in the email storage for Google

Apps domains.

Google Apps accounts are transferred to the

same back end as other Google accounts. This

aligns them so that they receive all updates at

the same time.

By 2013, Google Apps Education adopted by

many high end institutions , some of which

are shown in slide 7.

Towards the middle of the year Google began

providing GovCloud to host Apps in a new

environment. They also upgraded all their

services to be in sync with Microsoft Outlook

In January, 2009, Google Apps became a part

of the Lab Suites so users could add their

gadgets such as offline tasks, and vacation

time.

Some reasons Google Apps for Education can be adopted into Teaching and Learning.

Saves money- it is free to all schools and Google takes care of all licenses and upgrades.

You are not alone- Thousands of schools and universities use Google Apps for Education.

Your privacy is protected.

Innovation in real-time…access to the latest technology guaranteed.

Global collaboration- students can work on the same document simultaneously, worldwide.

13

Easy to deploy- Google takes care of all installations.

No additional licenses to be purchased as Google takes care of all resources.

Managed by the same security as Google,com.

Innovation in real time with access to Google’s latest technology

Global collaboration-students work on the same project simultaneously.

14

How can we measure its effectiveness?

Students and teachers will adopt it in their lessons.

Pre and Post Benchmark tests will be executed to determine growth.

Teachers and students will be surveyed on its usage and effectiveness, using questionnaires.

Questionnaires will be given each quarter of the year.

“Our students approached us about a year ago, saying that

we needed to improve our email and collaboration

services. We actually had our student government tell us, we

want to implement Google Apps.’ “ Wendy Woodward,

Director of Technology, Northwest University.

There are several advantages in adopting a decentralized approach.

Google Apps for Education does not require expertise for installation and utilization.

Facilitates peer collaboration.

Adopters can help in the decision making process.

Enables adopters to also play the role of change agent.

The Google Apps for Education’s critical mass

stage occurred very early on in the adoption

process, so the rate of adoption was very rapid. It

occurred rapidly because educators were happy to

have access to a number of interactive innovations

under one umbrella.

By collaborating every stake holder in the project can share ideas, produce the right type of product, give and take feedbacks, and do more.

Giving more emphasis to your privacy As a teacher or student you may not want all your documents to show up in Google app

Templates that you can use to deliver lessons and collaborate.

Organizing the collection of different documents. In any learning process, documents build up in very little time.

24

One of the quickest

and easiest way to

integrate technology.

Few skills need to use

this equipment.

Many technologies

under one control.

Actively engage the learning process

Enhance learning styles (visual , kinesthetic , spatial, etc. learners) for differentiated lessons.

Decrease copying, ink and paper expenses.
