Using Google Workspace for Education

Google Workspace for Education is a learning platform that can be used for Digital Portfolios. Google Workspace for Education would generally be set up for the whole school initially before creating school-issued student Google Workspace logins on the Google Admin Console. Care should be taken to ensure that access to GMail, YouTube, Chats, Hangouts and Meet is turned off and the age restrictions on these accounts are set to under 18. It is not recommended to use @gmail.com accounts with Google Classroom as the school has no oversight of these accounts. Generally Google Workspace/Classroom accounts are recommended from 2nd to 6th Class as they are intended to be used with Google Docs, Google Slides etc. which can be difficult for younger pupils to use.
