Our solution is as unique as our business model and the fact that we own almost every line of source code in this solution means we can evolve it, optimise it and exploit it. <br /><br />We have a unique business model that is considered highly disruptive within the retail sector, due in part to the scale of automation that we employ.<br /><br />From the customer’s perspective it’s all about delivering the highest levels of service, quality and choice at a compelling price that all flow from our level of automation - it’s also about providing a customer experience that is irresistible in terms of its convenience and simplicity.<br /><br />However under the surface, that simplicity does not come easily and is achieved by a huge level of complexity in terms of the processes, automation, software, algorithms, optimisations and data that make it happen.

App Engine also scales on demand automatically so that we don’t have to overprovision up front. We can get something live very quickly by just adding a small amount of code and pushing it out, compared to other cloud services where we would have had to build the whole stack from scratch. <br /><span id="docs-internal-guid-1908e973-7527-739e-fcd2-17e2bd012068"><img alt="big-data-architecture_v01.png" height="669px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/RtjOJ9ujoAYM6oJ6qKt5Czu7mtZtdZKaXuPMgT3Y2xv4ddPgjVURJ9CI2_76jJ0XWaOb0NN2TH5IPiet3-cHzf5Q8XZivuheFs25T5X2-YGzkgPZG8hHFI9y8g" style="border: 0px solid transparent;" width="624px;" /></span><br />We use Compute Engine to run a big data processing pipeline based on Hadoop and process a terabyte of data per week in order to build better experiences for our customers.

We’re moving from more traditional relational database technologies to distributed processing, and with Compute Engine, we can try new technologies quickly and be more agile, rather than having to provision and install additional physical machines.

With the goal of making this information more readily available to the world, today we’re launching <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/" target="_blank">Google Maps Gallery</a>, a new way for organizations to share and publish their maps online via <a href="https://www.google.com/enterprise/mapsearth/products/mapsengine.html" target="_blank">Google Maps Engine</a>. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwWYpF5jNQD34i0T0OHfEc0WmWZFQ-tPtNdXOazAybzHzfL3sqbDnJhhUZgkE6xWLoVscvvoPwrDl_zX6Rsrsx8WRScsNIOFbYcjUL_gktYQ5mhmftNoYcU9F-o9dxoWK1wtPE7gEAus/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-02-27+at+10.55.20+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwWYpF5jNQD34i0T0OHfEc0WmWZFQ-tPtNdXOazAybzHzfL3sqbDnJhhUZgkE6xWLoVscvvoPwrDl_zX6Rsrsx8WRScsNIOFbYcjUL_gktYQ5mhmftNoYcU9F-o9dxoWK1wtPE7gEAus/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-02-27+at+10.55.20+AM.png" width="352" /></a></div>Maps Gallery works like an interactive, digital atlas where anyone can search for and find rich, compelling maps. Maps included in the Gallery can be viewed in Google Earth and are discoverable through major search engines, making it seamless for citizens and stakeholders to access diverse mapping data, such as locations of <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=z6QQU56TTIy0.kKbzXI1vWKuk" target="_blank">municipal construction projects</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=zDoXIAU5tGiw.kZRIyDmY-Xrg" target="_blank">historic city plans</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=zqxWzWsW4BjE.kK-Gxv8BETN4" target="_blank">population statistics</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=zDvPoWvBLDC0.kpSFfo_Qd6_c" target="_blank">deforestation changes</a> and <a href="https://mapsengine.google.com/gallery/mapviewer?id=z0DdY6coD8EA.kPzYA1qgR4lw&hl=en" target="_blank">up-to-date emergency evacuation routes</a>. Organizations using Maps Gallery can communicate critical information, build awareness and inform the public at-large.<br /><br />Google Maps Gallery also offers several key benefits for organizations. With the Gallery, governments, nonprofits and businesses can publish maps and manage their content on their own terms with settings that enable control over maps branding, styling and licensing. Additionally, with the ability to synchronize maps from legacy systems and open data portals to the Gallery, organizations can take advantage of having a complementary online channel for their data. This lets their maps be more accessible and useful for their audiences — all powered by Google’s reliable cloud infrastructure. <br /><br />Today, Gallery users can browse content from organizations such as <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=National+Geographic+Society" target="_blank">National Geographic Society</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=World+Bank+Group" target="_blank">World Bank Group</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=USGS" target="_blank">United States Geological Survey</a>, <a href="https://maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=Florida+Division+of+Emergency+Management" target="_blank">Florida Emergency Management</a> and the <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=City+of+Edmonton" target="_blank">City of Edmonton</a> — but this is just the beginning. Maps Gallery is now open to organizations with content for the public good. Organizations interested in submitting content can <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/18hWEWjuouglnP0aYy0Ak9j2ntOGZd-J8lVOcCptr6q8/viewform" target="_blank">apply</a> to participate in Maps Gallery. <br /><br />Google Maps Gallery gives organizations better ways to surface maps and make data more discoverable.

With the goal of making this information more readily available to the world, today we’re launching <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/" target="_blank">Google Maps Gallery</a>, a new way for organizations to share and publish their maps online via <a href="https://www.google.com/enterprise/mapsearth/products/mapsengine.html" target="_blank">Google Maps Engine</a>. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwWYpF5jNQD34i0T0OHfEc0WmWZFQ-tPtNdXOazAybzHzfL3sqbDnJhhUZgkE6xWLoVscvvoPwrDl_zX6Rsrsx8WRScsNIOFbYcjUL_gktYQ5mhmftNoYcU9F-o9dxoWK1wtPE7gEAus/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-02-27+at+10.55.20+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDwWYpF5jNQD34i0T0OHfEc0WmWZFQ-tPtNdXOazAybzHzfL3sqbDnJhhUZgkE6xWLoVscvvoPwrDl_zX6Rsrsx8WRScsNIOFbYcjUL_gktYQ5mhmftNoYcU9F-o9dxoWK1wtPE7gEAus/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-02-27+at+10.55.20+AM.png" width="352" /></a></div>Maps Gallery works like an interactive, digital atlas where anyone can search for and find rich, compelling maps. Maps included in the Gallery can be viewed in Google Earth and are discoverable through major search engines, making it seamless for citizens and stakeholders to access diverse mapping data, such as locations of <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=z6QQU56TTIy0.kKbzXI1vWKuk" target="_blank">municipal construction projects</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=zDoXIAU5tGiw.kZRIyDmY-Xrg" target="_blank">historic city plans</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=zqxWzWsW4BjE.kK-Gxv8BETN4" target="_blank">population statistics</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/details?id=zDvPoWvBLDC0.kpSFfo_Qd6_c" target="_blank">deforestation changes</a> and <a href="https://mapsengine.google.com/gallery/mapviewer?id=z0DdY6coD8EA.kPzYA1qgR4lw&hl=en" target="_blank">up-to-date emergency evacuation routes</a>. Organizations using Maps Gallery can communicate critical information, build awareness and inform the public at-large.<br /><br />Google Maps Gallery also offers several key benefits for organizations. With the Gallery, governments, nonprofits and businesses can publish maps and manage their content on their own terms with settings that enable control over maps branding, styling and licensing. Additionally, with the ability to synchronize maps from legacy systems and open data portals to the Gallery, organizations can take advantage of having a complementary online channel for their data. This lets their maps be more accessible and useful for their audiences — all powered by Google’s reliable cloud infrastructure. <br /><br />Today, Gallery users can browse content from organizations such as <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=National+Geographic+Society" target="_blank">National Geographic Society</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=World+Bank+Group" target="_blank">World Bank Group</a>, <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=USGS" target="_blank">United States Geological Survey</a>, <a href="https://maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=Florida+Division+of+Emergency+Management" target="_blank">Florida Emergency Management</a> and the <a href="//maps.google.com/gallery/publisher?pub=City+of+Edmonton" target="_blank">City of Edmonton</a> — but this is just the beginning. Maps Gallery is now open to organizations with content for the public good. Organizations interested in submitting content can <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/18hWEWjuouglnP0aYy0Ak9j2ntOGZd-J8lVOcCptr6q8/viewform" target="_blank">apply</a> to participate in Maps Gallery. <br /><br />Google Maps Gallery gives organizations better ways to surface maps and make data more discoverable. Together with governments, businesses and nonprofits, we can unlock the world’s geospatial data.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/introducing-google-maps-gallery.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Introducing Google Maps Gallery: Unlocking the World’s Maps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/introducing-google-maps-gallery.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/introducing-google-maps-gallery.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='6' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/introducing-google-maps-gallery.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/introducing-google-maps-gallery.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/introducing-google-maps-gallery.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/geo?hl=en' rel='tag'> geo </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20Engine?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps Engine </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20for%20Business?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps for Business </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20Gallery?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps Gallery </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3002515836340667130' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/sao-paulo-is-going-google-for-its-4.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='São Paulo is going Google for its 4 million students'> São Paulo is going Google for its 4 million students </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Friday, February 21, 2014 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Milton Burgese, Head of Education, Google Brazil</span> <br /><br />Brazil is one of the fastest-growing countries in the world, and the state of São Paulo is the economic powerhouse underneath it all.

The company is growing quickly as broadband Internet usage surges in Bulgaria.<br /><br />Blizoo was born from the merger of CableTel and Eurocom Cable in late 2009, and since then, we’ve been working hard to bring together 1,500 employees across 35 locations into one cohesive team. We’re known for deploying the most advanced network infrastructure, but, ironically, when it came to our internal communications systems, things weren’t so cutting-edge. Shortly after the merger, we realized each company was using a totally different communications system for email and calendaring – and both of these solutions were hopelessly outdated.<br /><br />CableTel and Eurocom’s IT teams came together to find a unified communications solution that would move our newly combined company into a new era of collaboration. We wanted one platform for email, calendars, file sharing, video calls and messaging – accessible by all employees – no matter where they were located or what device they were using. During the evaluation process, we considered Google Apps, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange and open-source solutions like Zimbra. Google Apps was the only solution that covered all the bases – offering full collaboration, totally in the cloud.<br /><br />The transition to Google Apps was very smooth. In partnership with our integration partner Solitex, we quickly moved all 1,500 employees to Google - and not one single email was lost in the transition.<br /><br />All of our departments have found innovative ways to use Google Apps. The HR department uses Drive as their central employee management hub. They created special Docs and Templates that managers can fill in when employees are hired, promoted or leave the company. The sales department has adopted Google Apps to run training programs and create reports. Managers store all types of presentations in Drive, from training guides to skill-building programs to weekly bulletins. Since implementing Google Apps, sales managers spend 30-45% less time inputting data and calculating commissions.<br /><br />The IT department also appreciates how easy it is to manage Google Apps. There is virtually no maintenance required and we don’t have to operate our own servers. We’ve reduced time spent managing the communications system by at least 30%. Google’s built-in security means we worry far less about about data leaks. Before, employees emailed attachments back and forth, which was not only cumbersome, but created multiple security risks.

The company is growing quickly as broadband Internet usage surges in Bulgaria.<br /><br />Blizoo was born from the merger of CableTel and Eurocom Cable in late 2009, and since then, we’ve been working hard to bring together 1,500 employees across 35 locations into one cohesive team. We’re known for deploying the most advanced network infrastructure, but, ironically, when it came to our internal communications systems, things weren’t so cutting-edge. Shortly after the merger, we realized each company was using a totally different communications system for email and calendaring – and both of these solutions were hopelessly outdated.<br /><br />CableTel and Eurocom’s IT teams came together to find a unified communications solution that would move our newly combined company into a new era of collaboration. We wanted one platform for email, calendars, file sharing, video calls and messaging – accessible by all employees – no matter where they were located or what device they were using. During the evaluation process, we considered Google Apps, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange and open-source solutions like Zimbra. Google Apps was the only solution that covered all the bases – offering full collaboration, totally in the cloud.<br /><br />The transition to Google Apps was very smooth. In partnership with our integration partner Solitex, we quickly moved all 1,500 employees to Google - and not one single email was lost in the transition.<br /><br />All of our departments have found innovative ways to use Google Apps. The HR department uses Drive as their central employee management hub. They created special Docs and Templates that managers can fill in when employees are hired, promoted or leave the company. The sales department has adopted Google Apps to run training programs and create reports. Managers store all types of presentations in Drive, from training guides to skill-building programs to weekly bulletins. Since implementing Google Apps, sales managers spend 30-45% less time inputting data and calculating commissions.<br /><br />The IT department also appreciates how easy it is to manage Google Apps. There is virtually no maintenance required and we don’t have to operate our own servers. We’ve reduced time spent managing the communications system by at least 30%. Google’s built-in security means we worry far less about about data leaks. Before, employees emailed attachments back and forth, which was not only cumbersome, but created multiple security risks. Now, they just log securely into Drive to collaborate in real-time.<br /><br />From IT and HR, to sales, management, marketing and beyond, Google Apps has made life easier for all Blizoo employees.aborate in real-time.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/blizoo-brings-1500-employees-from-two.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Blizoo Brings 1,500 Employees from Two Merged Companies Together Via Google Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/blizoo-brings-1500-employees-from-two.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/blizoo-brings-1500-employees-from-two.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='9' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/blizoo-brings-1500-employees-from-two.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/blizoo-brings-1500-employees-from-two.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/blizoo-brings-1500-employees-from-two.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love?hl=en' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?hl=en' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Startups?hl=en' rel='tag'> Startups </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='4004256002735192171' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/02/new-google-admin-app-for-ios.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='New Google Admin App for iOS'> New Google Admin App for iOS </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, February 10, 2014 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Aman Rathi, Product Manager, Google Apps</span><br /><br />Last year we launched the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.in/2013/05/new-mobile-admin-app.html" target="_blank">Google Admin app</a> for Android that enabled administrators to easily add users, reset passwords, see audit logs and contact support. <br /><br />Today we’re launching the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id779592978?mt=8" target="_blank">Google Admin app for iOS</a> so admins can take care of common tasks on the go directly from their iPhones or iPads.<br /><br />This app is designed for admins and requires <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/60757?hl=en" target="_blank">API access to be enabled</a>.

That means for the same price that companies have typically paid for one meeting room, they'll be able to outfit 10 rooms—or more. CDW and SYNNEX will help bring Chromebox for meetings to customers and resellers, and Chromeboxes from HP and Dell will be available for meetings in the coming months. Later this year, we plan to launch in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the U.K.<br /><br />Companies like Eventbrite, Gilt, oDesk and Woolworths have been testing Chromebox for meetings, and have <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/solutions/for-meetings.html?utm_source=0214cfmlaunch&utm_medium=blog#customers">told us</a> that they love the simple setup, the ease of use, and being able to see their colleagues in other offices. More importantly, the low price will enable them to extend these benefits to even more employees, rooms and offices.

You can also connect to rooms that have traditional video conferencing systems using a new tool from <a href="http://blog.vidyo.com/vidyo-news/vidyoh2ogooglehangouts/">Vidyo</a>, and participants who prefer phones can join your meeting with a conference call number from <a href="https://www.uberconference.com/hangouts">UberConference</a>.</li></ul><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUVkXW2YUZDEt8lcu9w1_eXC0OPoRXLRvyKwFUSt7YesfwCtINND_KWfWm0IJSDzcPhdHcLS6XhOnguqPwVuyB63EVQzkONQgLQbENlrYBQThZr_F7Ifx9rD87Yqap0WBQJnrpbFZlQz-A/s1600/lifestyle_chromemeeting_wireless_CBadd.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUVkXW2YUZDEt8lcu9w1_eXC0OPoRXLRvyKwFUSt7YesfwCtINND_KWfWm0IJSDzcPhdHcLS6XhOnguqPwVuyB63EVQzkONQgLQbENlrYBQThZr_F7Ifx9rD87Yqap0WBQJnrpbFZlQz-A/s1600/lifestyle_chromemeeting_wireless_CBadd.png" width="640" /></a></div>Chromebox for meetings is available in the U.S. today starting at $999, which includes the ASUS Chromebox and everything you need to get going. That means for the same price that companies have typically paid for one meeting room, they'll be able to outfit 10 rooms—or more. CDW and SYNNEX will help bring Chromebox for meetings to customers and resellers, and Chromeboxes from HP and Dell will be available for meetings in the coming months. Later this year, we plan to launch in Australia, Canada, France, Japan, New Zealand, Spain and the U.K.<br /><br />Companies like Eventbrite, Gilt, oDesk and Woolworths have been testing Chromebox for meetings, and have <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/solutions/for-meetings.html?utm_source=0214cfmlaunch&utm_medium=blog#customers">told us</a> that they love the simple setup, the ease of use, and being able to see their colleagues in other offices. More importantly, the low price will enable them to extend these benefits to even more employees, rooms and offices. Find out how <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/solutions/for-meetings.html?utm_source=0214cfmlaunch&utm_medium=blog">Chromebox for meetings</a> can help you and your coworkers see eye-to-eye.

Jack says, “The essence of what we do as 21st Century teachers has been distilled by the visionary educators at Point England, New Zealand. We want our students to (1) learn, (2) create and (3) share.

In her “Exploring Tech” class, she taught a unit on transportation. In the past she had her students do research and then make posters. But this year she had them use dynamic apps like <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stupeflix-video-maker/fkdmcfnoimoilncpjchamnenebopocem?hl=en">Stupeflix</a>, a video editing tool in the Chrome Web Store, to deliver their projects. Katie explained, “With Chromebooks we can provide students with more choices in how they do their assignments and learn in flexible ways. Students have a range of different tools they are able to use when completing projects to demonstrate what they have learned.” <br /><br />At Passaic City Public Schools in New Jersey, the district is also using Google Apps and Chromebooks as a centerpiece of their 1:1 model. Even in the early days of their 1:1 program last year the district was seeing impact. Joshua Koen, District Coordinator of Technology, said that “the most obvious benefit of using Chromebooks at Passaic is that students can take an active part in developing their own lesson plans. Rather than a teacher dictating facts to their class, the students can build their own learning experience, working together to solve problems.”<br /><br /><b>New insights into student learning </b><br />Digital tools give teachers views into the student learning process that were never available before. A few months ago I visited a high school English classroom in which the teacher was “dropping in” on the papers students were writing with Google Docs. We opened up one student’s document and we saw that she had pasted the feedback from her last assignment as well as the scoring rubric into the top of her current paper. The teacher was impressed and immediately added a comment into the document praising her approach.<br /><div><br /><b>Connecting with the world </b><br />When I was teaching I struggled to get speakers to visit my rural classroom. But today tools like Google+ Hangouts help teachers deliver learning beyond the classroom walls. For example, Vida Fernandez, a Special Education 9th grade English teacher in Passaic, taught a lesson on Frankenstein using Hangouts to connect with another class in Germany. The two classes represented the prosecution and defense in a ‘trial’ of Dr. Frankenstein, and both developed a sophisticated understanding of the narrative and characters of the book.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">* * * </div><br />Interested in learning more about how Google for Education digital tools can work in your school?
