Support Teachers Take Advantage Of Technology For Education, Google Launches Education Navigator

JAKARTA - The use of technology in learning systems will help students get used to the skills they need for the future.

But unfortunately, there are still educators who do not yet have qualified knowledge and resources to access technology or platforms suitable for these learning activities.

Understanding this, Google launched Education Navigator, a site that provides free information about Google for Education tools such as Chromebooks, Google Classrooms, and Google Workspace for Education in one place.

Citing a report on Google's blog, this site will help educators find what they need in using technology for teaching by managing resources based on roles, experience levels (generators or extensions), products and interests (security, collaboration, AI, and more).

According to Google, the Education Navigator is said to be able to provide recommendations for Google tools that are appropriate according to their role in use.

Supported by 40 content on how to use Google Workspace for Education, the site will help improve digital security and privacy, support teachers, and ensure equitable access to technology for students.

For example, if you want proactive digital security tools to protect student data and lecturers, the Education Navigator will provide an interactive Google Workspace for Education demonstration featuring a security dashboard.

The demo will show the best security practices, including spam detection, file sharing, phishing efforts, and more.

Meanwhile, if you are a parent or guardian, you can also find ways to inspire your child with various tools to study at home using Google Families.
