G Suite Gems 🎄🎄🎄 Special: A little off piste at Le Mountain View Winter Gathering
It's snowing and I'm sitting with a cup of soup, reflecting on a great afternoon/evening at +Google London HQ this past Friday where Google for Education hosted their end of year Winter Gathering for partners, reference schools, educators and trainers.
I love events like this as you not only get to meet some great people and make superb connections, but you also get to let your creativity flow. Something that can be hard to do in your standard office or school environment.
So in between games of shuffleboard, the photobot.co Ski lift gif booth and some VR skiing I was able to chat with lots of new faces and some old friends about all things G Suite. I also got to witness 6 great demoslams.Not only is it great to find out about upcoming features (sorry, no spoilers here) or find new ways of using existing features but I also had the chance to offer some feedback on current features which would make things even better.
Sometimes, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that some of the systems we use on a daily basis might be groundbreaking to someone else, just because we are used to them. I'm really looking forward to sharing our experiences with colleagues and new contacts in the coming year.
Many thanks to all at Google for this great event and especially to Dean, Ben, Oli & Dan from Appsevents for inviting me along.
Maybe starting the weekend on a ski lift was an omen? Le Mountain View Turtle neck is certainly going to get more use than expected this week!And finally....
It wouldn't be right to go without sharing something so don't forget to track Father Christmas - you can even play some games and learn to code while you're there!! In the spirit of the event....
SLAM!
Here's to a great Christmas and a great 2018. Things just get better and better. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
