1. Free Advice, Guidance and Provisioning of digital education platform by ICT Solutions

As you may have seen in the Government communications, they are recommending using either Google or Microsoft digital education platforms to support and deliver remote learning. Other suppliers may be marketing you to take advantage of Government funding to move to one of these platforms but we can provide this service free of charge if you register your interest before 30th June 2020.   

 

What is a digital education platform?

It's a place where your pupils' learning experience at home can continue as close to normal as possible. The platforms are purpose-built for remote learning in a way that a school website isn't. 

In short, if you set up on one of the platforms, you'll be able to:

  • Assign and assess work, providing feedback remotely
  • Communicate with staff, students and parents in real time, using written word, voice and video
  • Facilitate collaboration between groups of pupils and teachers

 

For either G-suite for Education or Microsoft 365 we can:

  • Set up your own tenant, ensuring security and compliance
  • Provision user accounts for staff and students
  • Migrate your existing emails across to your new platform/tenancy
  • Set up Microsoft teams or Google Classroom for all classes or as per your requirements
  • Enable Microsoft Teams video or Google Meet video calling and live meets
  • Provision online secure shared files areas
  • Provide online training and webinars – 1 hour free training will be included in your set up package.
