Monday Medley: Rebranding of GSuite for Education and Updates

Good Morning, Hopefully everyone was able to spend at least part of February vacation relaxing. You may have heard that last week there was a Learning With Google 2021 global virtual summit that took place where many updates were announced. One thing that Google announced is that GSuite for Education has been renamed Google Workspace for Education. Over the next several months Google is adding more than 50 new features to the education products we frequently use. You can expect to see some of those rollouts and changes in the next few weeks. One feature you will see soon in Google Meet is the ability for teachers to "mute all" and end the call for all to ensure that students don't remain after the teacher has left the call. in addition, teachers will be able to have co-teachers as co-moderators within Meet. A student engagement tracking feature will be coming to Google Classroom so you will have the ability to see at a glance which of your students may be falling behind in their classwork. Some enhanced security features will also be available for Google Admins and will happen behind the scenes. Do you want to keep up with what's happening in the Google world?
