Google Apps for Education and Realsmart
At Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust, we always endeavour to provide our students with the best educational opportunities.
This includes the ways we use technology to engage students and enhance teaching and learning.
The underpinning principle is to provide our students with access to the best online tools so they can seamlessly access their learning from anywhere at any time. To prepare students for working and collaborating in a rapidly evolving world, we have partnered with Realsmart and use Google Apps for Education (GAfE).
GAfE provides students and teachers with an online platform for communication, collaboration and working. All our students are able to log in via the schools’ websites and access their emails, calendar, files and documents, as well as creating new documents, completing assignments and submitting work to their teachers.
GAfE also gives students access to thousands of online tools which use Google accounts, ranging from online video and sound editing to online maths tools and revision skills.
The unique way in which GAfE works allows students to work securely in real-time with one another, collaborate and share ideas, as well as being able to communicate with their teachers at any time, from any location and on any device that can connect to the internet.
Students can work on a desktop computer or laptop or install the apps to tablets and mobile phones
