ISG Hosts Google Lunch and Learn

On November 23, ISG hosted The Google Lunch and Learn event, one of a series of events in Google’s KSA kick-off tour to showcase the Google Education platform.

Thirty guests from schools and educational organizations in the Eastern Province and 15 staff from ISG attended the presentation.

Representatives from International Program Schools, Saudi Aramco Expatriate Schools, Alhussan International School, Al Forsan International School, Alkifah International Academy, IDP Education Ltd., Jubail Industrial College, The Royal Commision Jubail, Gemini Institute of English and Foreign Languages, SPSP, Dunes International School, Mohammed ALMana College for Medical Sciences, Basmah Company, Labvent, and The Bridge were present.

Ehab Gheidan, MENA Google Education Customer Engineering Lead, gave a presentation called The Future of Education, and Paul Crossley, LearnIT Education Director, shared updates to the new Google Workspace and Chromebooks and how these new features benefit schools.

ISG students, Google Level 2 certified teachers and staff shared how each of them use the features of Google Education Workspace on a daily basis to facilitate their learning, communication and productivity.

Some of the key benefits include collaborative tools like Google Docs and Google Slides that enhance teamwork and communication among students, families and teachers.  It also provides a platform for teachers to create, distribute and assess assignments efficiently. Google Classroom streamlines the organization of class materials and assignments.  Ultimately, the Google Education platform is a cost-effective, accessible and excellent solution to streamline our students’ learning experience.

We are very excited for Google’s presence in the kingdom and look forward to hosting more collaborative events in the future.
