SUPPORTING REMOTE LEARNING

  • During the Covid-19 pandemic, my school successfully set up, trained staff, children and parents and launched Google Classroom remotely to our families.

  • By June, over 520  out of 650 children had logged on and were submitting work to over 50 members of staff. 

  • If would like a tour of our Elsley Primary Google Classrooms and find out how achieved what we did, get in touch for a chat and then see how we can support you set up Google Classroom in your school.  
"I approached James through Twitter to support the Pilot of Google Classroom at La Fontaine Academy just as Lockdown began. He promptly set up a Zoom meeting with his colleague and I was good to go within a couple of days!  James was thorough , patient and very knowledgeable of the practicalities and limitations of setting up a cloud based platform virtually. He was conscious of the impact on whole school teams and most of all, the benefit it would bring to learners who were off site.  As a school, due to the success of the pilot, we have now set up Google Classrooms across all year groups."

"From my first email enquiry James has always been prompt, supportive and enthusiastic about Google Classroom. After the demonstration he provided, we decided that it would be hugely beneficial for our staff to experience Google Classroom through his clear and informative style. James liaised with the school to ensure he understood our needs and adapted his training to fit in with our programme. James was able to guide our staff through the features of Google Classroom, knowing what would be beneficial for teachers and sharing his experience and tips. As a school we are now ready to use Google Classroom with our children to support our remote learning provision. I know that if I have a query, James will be happy to continue to support. Thanks again for making the transition to this platform as smooth as possible."
