Get started with Google for Education

At GEMS Royal Dubai School we are using Google for Education primarily in Years 3-6. RDS started this last year with some classes with very successful outcomes. This year is slightly different. GAfE has been set up as an enterprise across the GEMS Education network. This enterprise is comprised of two domains - a domain for teachers, gemsedu.com, and a domain for students, gemselearning.com. Each school in the GEMS Network, whether it be the teachers domain or the student domain, can be recognised by the schools cypher. At RDS it looks like this - rds.gemsedu.com for teachers and rds.gemselearning.com for students.

The following will help you and your students get started with Google. Google Apps for Education accounts have been set up for all teachers and all students. NOTE: At this point in time, a letter (below) must go home to parents which explains GAfE and the consent form returned from the parent/guardian of each child in your class before they can be given a Google account.
