Embracing Change<\/b><\/p>\n
Some staff embraced the change. They embraced moving to the cloud and they got excited about. T<\/span><\/p>\n Other colleagues were terrified her the prospect of switching to a cloud-based document storage solution. The idea of using Google Classroom on top of that was just too much.<\/span><\/p>\n Top Three Fears<\/b><\/p>\n In my technology role, I have come across a lot of fear about the cloud. Here are the top three reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n Fear 1: Security<\/b><\/p>\n What’s more secure, an unencrypted USB stick or Google’s servers?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n What do you think?<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, the USB stick is not a secure option. It’s so easy to lose or break a USB stick. Chances are the person that you’re talking to about cloud security is a USB stick user.<\/span><\/p>\n After we’ve had this conversation, I’d probably go on to explain that:<\/span><\/p>\n Google will not sell or share any data that educational establishments place on their servers. If you are a G Suite for Education user, whatever goes into your Google Drive stays there. And it is not owned by Google. Furthermore, Google will not advertise to G Suite for Education users.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Fear 2: Lack of Knowledge and Understanding<\/b><\/p>\n It’s to be expected that colleagues will be nervous about a new system that they are not experts at using. They are worried their students will find them out. This is a legitimate fear and definitely one that I can relate to.<\/span><\/p>\n However, what I would say is this: you have been using Google already for a pretty long time as a search engine. So there will be some familiarity there. It’s quite intuitive.<\/span><\/p>\n Fear 3: Lack of Control<\/b><\/p>\n Google Drive is a good example of something that causes this fear.\u00a0It’s so easy to share documents and collaborate on them that my colleagues sometimes are worried that they’ll share things without realising and lose control over their documents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Embracing Change Some staff embraced the change.
