Building teachers’ confidence and boosting learners’ skills at Dominican College

Dominican College shares the impact of their transformative journey with Google Workspace for Education on staff and students.

When we started, we didn’t know where the journey would take us. But we’re learning something new every day, and we harness this learning to support our students’ growth – both inside and outside the classroom.

Our advice is to start small and build your confidence. Start with some simple apps and tools, and then look at how you can support your students. The good thing about Google Workspace for Education is that it is intuitive – the skills are transferable across all tools.
