Dide.org has reached an agreement and has become a build partner of Google for Education with the purpose of collaborating on educational technology. The objective of the agreement is to combat school failure through the use of digital technologies that address the main challenges of educational personalization and strengthen the relationship between educators, students and their families.
Under the premise that the teacher is the backbone of improving education, the agreement contemplates the integration of Dide.org’s early identification tool into the Google for Education solutions ecosystem. This prior knowledge of students’ abilities, potential and possible difficulties on the part of educational centers and teachers will support the adequate management of diversity in classrooms, also providing resources to manage the relationship with the student’s family environment, making possible adequate monitoring of the evolution of the educational process through the management of indicators.
To promote and facilitate the use of the minor’s knowledge tool, both entities will develop a complete dissemination and training program aimed at facilitating the use of the technological tool by the teaching community to be able to carry out their work in a more efficient way.
In the opinion of Gonzálo Romero, director of Google for Education in Spain, “we want to be a collaborative agent of change in the fight against school failure, supporting solid initiatives that allow us to support and dignify the work of teachers. Count on Dide.org as Google for Education integrated solutions partner will make this possible in a secure environment – the educational centers are the owners of the information – and will allow educational centers, education experts and families to collaborate in a real and effective way to ensure that each boy and girl reach their maximum potential.”
For her part, Elena Betés Novoa, CEO of Dide.org, technology entrepreneur and founder of Rastreator, has expressed her enthusiasm about this collaboration: “we are excited to join forces with Google for Education in this transformative project that will make our vision a reality. vision that each child shines with their own light. It is the ideal platform to develop it, due to security and consistency in data collection and its adaptability to the needs of the school. We understand that knowledge of the minor and accompanying them in their personal discovery is key to develop their full potential with the help of educators and families”.
