“We love the efficiency of having all of these functions – meetings and classes, recording, and streaming – performed by the one tool.”
Karl Bernard
IT Business Partner“Students had to send their work to teachers by email, and then teachers had to put the student work into the application.”
Mikael Pedersen
Maths & Science Teacher“We have a lot of students who are seeking to publish their work – and knowing how to properly reference sources and write originally is obviously a big part of that. Originality reports are extremely helpful for students working on these projects, especially as they prepare for university.”
Luke Starczak
Senior Leader of STEM and Innovative Pedagogies“Compared to other video conferencing tools, Meet is easier to use, easier to manage, and more secure. It also has features that helped us get buy-in more easily.”
Charley Butcher
Director of Instructional Technology
