Google Workspace for Education enables easier collaboration, streamlines instruction, and offers a secure learning environment. “With the amount of online tools used in classrooms today, Google Classroom Single Sign-On alone is a lifesaver for teachers, students and IT administrators,” said Christina Shailas, founder of Gear Education.

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication method that enables users to securely authenticate with multiple applications and websites by using just one set of credentials. Google Classroom SSO integrates with hundreds of education applications, so teachers and students can access their favorite EdTech platforms through a simple and secure method. 

Providing schools with a safe digital learning environment is fundamental to Gear Education. “Schools need to ensure that student information is kept private and secure,” Shailas continued.” “By deploying Google Cloud technologies, Gear Education enables institutions to meet privacy and security requirements and standards, such as GDPR.” 

An added benefit of Google Classroom’s integration is in streamlining announcements and syncing rosters; this can be especially helpful to schools managing multiple systems related to student information, learning and device management.

Gear Education is dedicated to guiding, supporting, and inspiring educators to embrace technology as a transformative tool to educate and empower students from early childhood to higher education. To inquire about implementing Google Workspace for Education in your institution, please visit HERE.
