Providing for robust usage of Google and Google Classroom at school and at home involves decisions that take into account not only network/device safety, but also digital citizenship and teacher pedagogy. Successful programs involve collaboration between district technology staff, instructional/curriculum leaders and teachers.
This site has been developed to support your district in these efforts. Purposeful, seamless curriculum and technology integration is the goal of the Digital Age Learning team at Region 20. Please let us know how we can support your district.
