  1. Thanks for the responses folks. I will look again at Enterprise for Edu pricing. I hadn't realised that the student licences were free. I don't suppose that you could point me at any of these discounting resellers, could you?
  2. Yes but ... I read that Google post to mean that several of the features that I'd like to have available in our modest primary school will be held back for Enterprise customers only. I I know that I can get attendance from Audit logs, create breakout rooms with calendar appointments or multiple Classrooms, Q&A from Slides and polling from Forms. But I'm the lone nerd trying to encourage dispersed colleagues, who were stressed enough before they all had to start teaching Y6 in class as well as run their own classes remotely. The fact that they, and our families, have made a success of Classroom and G Suite from absolute scratch was largely down to its relative ease of use and functionality, and the speed with which Google have over-delivered on making premium features in Meet etc part of the free product (I know, to fight off Zoom and Teams). We don't have the tech admin support to turn audit logs into attendance registers or prepare lots of resources - perversely it's the smallest schools for whom some of the premium features could have the biggest impact. I guess I'm rehearsing an argument I should address to the Googleplex. But do older wiser heads here think Google are likely to hand out more of the goodies for free again, or should I be looking at Enterprise? Cheers, Patrick Martin https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/education/new-meet-features-for-edu/ For G Suite Enterprise for Education customers, we’re also releasing several premium features: attendance tracking to provide a record of which students joined the class, breakout rooms so educators can split classes into smaller groups, Q&A to provide a way for students to ask questions without disrupting the flow of the class discussion or lesson, and polling to engage students to share their voice.
  3. I am trying to evaluate Promethean's Classflow for use in school, but seem to be getting connection problems. It uses secure https:/ sessions, and I wonder whether it's getting blocked by LGfL's Webscreen filters. I've raised a support ticket on this with LGfL and my school's support engineers, but wondered whether other EduGeek users have experience of configuring and using Classflow?
