Microsoft – Google Platform Comparisons

Microsoft – Google Platform Comparisons

One of the amazing things to come of this time is an abundance of resource sharing online from educators all over the world!  

Most school divisions/districts around the world fall into two realms: those operating in a Microsoft environment and those operating in a Google environment (although some offer both).  

Using the environment offered by your division is important as: 
  • It is most familiar to your staff and students 
  • It is easily serviced and troubleshooted by your ICT Department 
  • It has your staff and students already in the system (no signing up for accounts, passwords, etc) 
  • It has systems in place to ensure any staff or student data is in compliance with archive policies, FIPPA, PHIA, and PIPEDA 

So what happens if that awesome idea/project/assignment is in one platform while your division is operating in another? 

Here is a short summary comparing the two platforms:
