Introduction

How to use this site?

Look through the menu options on the left. The Going Google section explains what GAFE is and why BTPS is encouraging our staff to use GAFE.

The migration section is for users who already see the benefit and want to take the first steps towards fully moving to GAFE.

The getting started section is for training on the different components of GAFE suite. Most of the content is personalized and specific for BTPS staff, created by BTPS staff, and will continue to be updated by BTPS staff.

The Synergyse section is also training, but this is a paid training resource purchased by BTPS. The training is integrated within your own user sessions and you train using your own profile. It is very good training and covers the basics to the high level features of GAFE. There will be some overlap of training between the BTPS created videos and the Synergyse paid training.

Not that interested? Hate the idea of change? Take a deep breath and relax. Just decide to investigate further before you make up your mind. Then check out the link below and ask yourself if anything you see offers value to you as a teacher. If so, carry on, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
