Google Classroom Training [Postponed]

Reuben Hendriks

Update: 24 March 2020

Due to the recent COVID-19 temporary measures to limit gatherings to 10 people or less, the South Area council has decided to postpone the Google Classroom training until further notice.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Dear leaders,

This is a FREE Enrichment Workshop organized by South Area to encourage our Leaders to upgrade their skills to help them in running their unit more efficiently and thus to enrich their personal development on this scouting journey.

Google Classroom is a free web service, developed by Google for schools, that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments in a paperless way. The primary purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students.

We shall learn and explore how this can help us in our scouting environment.

Registration for the course will be available on-line through scout registration portal at http://intranet.scout.org.sg. (Adult Training Registration Portal)

For any query, please feel free to contact Mr Raikhan, Senior Executive Assistant at raikhan@scout.org.sg or at 6259 2858.
