We are happy to announce that St. Bede’s College has recently received the Google Reference School certificate awarded by Google Workspace for Education, a recognition that acknowledges the incorporation of digital tools both in the school’s pedagogical project and in its administrative and management processes. In addition to the use of Google tools by teaching staff in their educational activity and in pedagogical planning, there is a tested program to educate students in a conscious and responsible use of technology.
Being a Google Reference School means that we join a select group of schools and universities around the world. This certificate is a benchmark in our use of Google Workspace throughout the school and an example of good practice in the application of its tools to offer support to other schools. In this way, we can provide training and collaboration opportunities to colleagues, while we continue to work closely with Google to support the development and implementation of future technologies for use in schools.
