Give your classroom an extra upgrade

Presented by Google for Education


Google for Education invites schools to give their classrooms an extra upgrade with the Teaching and Learning add-on for Google Workspace for Education. This premium add-on builds on the functionality of Education Fundamentals, enhancing the Google tools that millions of teachers and students already use daily with AI-driven features designed to enrich instruction and personalise learning. Key features include enhanced Google Meet capabilities with live translated captions, breakout rooms, Q&A, and polls for up to 250 participants; practice sets in Google Classroom that use AI to create interactive assignments from existing PDFs, providing real-time feedback with prompts and hints; and 100 TB of pooled cloud storage for the institution. The Teaching and Learning add-on is designed for schools that want to do more with the Google ecosystem they’ve already invested in — making virtual and hybrid learning more engaging, streamlining assessment workflows, and giving teachers AI-powered tools to support differentiated instruction. For school leaders and IT administrators considering the upgrade, a 60-day trial of 50 licences is available, and there’s no minimum purchase requirement. Whether your school is enhancing its remote learning capabilities, looking for better assessment tools within Classroom, or simply wanting more storage and meeting capacity, the Teaching and Learning add-on represents Google’s vision for how technology can support meaningful teaching at scale.
