Google Workspace & Microsoft 365

Do the IT systems you currently have allow you to achieve your vision for education and learning?” 

By utilising cloud technology Scomis are able to provide schools with an IT system that is reliable, secure, low maintenance, cost effective, future proof, intuitive and simple to use for your staff and pupils.

There are two different platforms available:

• Google Workspace
• Microsoft 365

We have expertise in both platforms and provide an agnostic service, supporting you through the selection process. Our approach is to work with you, reviewing what systems you already have in place and to understand your primary objectives.

Collaborate from Anywhere

Whether you’re at home, at work, or in the classroom, Digital Education Platforms are a great way to create, communicate, and collaborate. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace seamlessly bring together messaging, meetings, docs, and tasks – all built with trusted security and running on the global cloud. Familiar tools; fewer distractions; more time to make it happen.

Both Microsoft 365 for Education and Google Workspace are designed to include all of Microsoft and Google’s main components in one package that your staff can easily implement in their lessons and use for remote teaching and learning.

Microsoft Teams and Google Classroom allow your staff to:

• Communicate with pupils and deliver lessons via video calls.
• Record virtual lessons.
• Set tasks.
• Let pupils work together through supervised group calls.
• Give personalised feedback via video or within shared documents.
• Continue with formal assessment for learning.
• Set up separate classrooms for smaller groups of students.
• Develop structured file and folder storage for different users.
• Use tools to support staff planning.

How can Scomis help?

The DfE has announced additional funding to assist schools with the adoption of a Digital Education Platform to support distance learning during the current COVID-19 outbreak.

As your school’s ICT partner, we have already helped many schools transition to the cloud and implement effective digital teaching and learning strategies.

By providing agnostic advice, we can help you to achieve best value from the DfE funding in the short term and can also help you to build on this foundation to fully exploit cloud technologies in the future.

If you would like to take advantage of the guidance that we can provide, to help you make the best choice of cloud technology for your school for both the short and longer term, please do get in touch.
