ePLDT, the ICT subsidiary of PLDT, has teamed up with Google to support the digitization of the county’s education sector.
By onboarding its education customers to optimize Google Workspace, ePLDT is helping educators advance their teaching methods and collectively drive the best possible learning outcomes for their students.
Early this year, ePLDT received the Google for Education Professional Development (PD) partner status. This designation signifies that ePLDT has the expertise to guide schools and educators through product selection and even tailor solutions to their specific needs; manage deployment and configuration of Google Workspace so that schools need not worry about the technicalities of the tools; and provide ongoing support to ensure that educators are able to make the most of the tools available to them.
Google Workspace solution is an ecosystem of cloud-based tools designed for collaboration and streamlined instructions with added security features.
Among its most notable features are Google Classroom for easy lesson creation, Google Meet for video conferencing, Google Chat/Spaces for easier group collaboration, and increased Google Drive storage which is essential in conveniently keeping the students’ assignments, lessons, and other instructional materials for easy access.
“Aligned with our parent company PLDT’s much broader mission to enable and empower Philippine education through innovation, ePLDT is proud to support the sector’s digitization efforts. We are privileged to be able to play a vital role in helping advance their vision,” Amil Azurin, vice president and head of Cloud Tech Product Management, Innovations and Strategic Partnerships at ePLDT said.
“We hope our partnership with Google will bring together the best of technology and learning to benefit our country’s students,” he added.
Apart from the Google for Education PD Partner status, ePLDT also recently received a total of five Partner Expertise designations from Google. These designations are reserved for those who demonstrate customer success in deploying Google Cloud to specific areas such as product, solution, and industry.
In terms of solution, ePLDT secured Expertise designation for Work Transformation – Productivity and Collaboration. On the industry side, it’s been given Partner Expertise designations for Media and Entertainment, Financial Services, Global Public Sector – Education, and Global Public Sector – Government.
