Hi !
We have recently hosted two webinars. The recording for one of them is now available. You can view all the recordings here: Webinar Recordings.
Webinar on Record of Processing for M365 in Schools
This webinar was organized as a working meeting where Tromsø Municipality sat down with us, and we tried to adapt the record of processing for Google Workspace for Education to apply to Microsoft 365.
Tromsø uses M365, not Google Workspace for Education in schools. But what we saw after sitting down was that much is similar.
There are things you need to adapt, but actually, you can start with the record of processing for Google Workspace for Education, and use it for all the processing of personal data that you as a school owner handle about students, teachers, and other staff in the school.
Another nice thing to see was how much Tromsø Municipality already had in place!
Did you miss the webinar? Don’t worry! You can watch the recording of the webinar here.
We have also published as far as we got in the record of processing, you can find it here.
And we will have a continuation of this webinar on November 11, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Register for the webinar here.
Webinar on Configuring Google Workspace for Education
This webinar was conducted on October 17, 2024. Ullensvang Municipality wanted to discuss the configuration of Google Workspace for Education.
We were fortunate that two of the project participants who have worked the most with configuring the solution in their own municipalities (Trondheim and Narvik), came to advise. We discussed the possibilities in the solution, how to set a good OU structure (OU = "Organisation Units"), and the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions that the different municipalities have chosen.
If there's one thing we want you, the viewer, to take away, it's that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Customizations for each municipality are not only fine but also necessary to meet the needs.
This recording is not yet published but will be around November 1st. Stay tuned here for updates.
Webinar on Managing Google Workspace for Education
Kristiansand Municipality has requested guidance on how they can organize themselves to manage Google Workspace for Education.
The topic deals with change management – how to ensure that the changes that come are caught and assessed, but also what the municipality can do to maintain the management responsibility that comes with having a solution like Google Workspace for Education. We know that several school owners feel this management responsibility.
This will be a webinar where one municipality advises another. Specifically, Bergen and Stavanger municipalities will advise on what might be wise.
And we suspect that this webinar will also not be a definitive guide but a conversation between three already very competent municipalities about the pros and cons of organizing management responsibility.
We do not have a date for this webinar yet (it has been moved and the dates in the link do not match), but you can still register. Do that here!
I wish you a wonderful, privacy-friendly week-end!
Best regards,
