Rain, hail or monsoonal flood,
nothing stops the learning at Matthayom Watnairong school in Bangkok.
During 2011 when it was too wet to get to school, students and teachers
used their own Google accounts to conduct virtual lessons over Hangouts
and Drive to share course materials. The experience demonstrated how
cloud based tools can support learning, so in 2012 they rolled out
Google Apps for Education to the whole school.
Matthayom
Watnairong is one school among over a million students and teachers
that have ’gone Google’ in the last two years. Since 2012 we have been
working with Thai educators at over 500 educational institutions in
every province to unlock the potential of the web for learning...and
we’re just getting started.

Technology
gives us unprecedented access to knowledge and ways to communicate, but
it’s not enough to give teachers and students apps and devices. For
technology to enrich learning you need the right infrastructure in place
as well as support and training.
