= = = = =SJR Learners - G Suite for Education= 2009-2010, Roland and Phil began "testing" the use of a SJR controlled version of Google Docs aka //Google Apps for Education//. The newly renamed //G Suite for Education// allows us more control of what features students can use and with whom they can collaborate. Privacy settings are significantly different from a regular Google Account. G Suite for Education is now a corner stone tool with our 1 to 1 initiative which spans Grade 4 to 12.

The //G Suite for Education// domain name for our school is: //learners.sjr.mb.ca//
