Communication solutions
The creation of a fast and flexible communications environment which adapts to the reality and diversity of the different members of an educational community is the best way of guaranteeing communication.
E-mail: the tool incorporates an e-mail system featuring a personalised address with the school domain name, for students, teachers and administration staff, with all the options of a web-based e-mail (send, receive, reply, attach, spellcheck) plus antivirus and anti-spam systems.
Web: the members of the educational community have access to all the GIC functions and to school information via the school's own website. This tool enables easy website creation and administration, even by people without extensive technical knowledge.
Family-school relationship: GIC enables the school to incorporate a system of communication with families. Parents, with their own password, can access the site to view their child's academic record or check up on absences or lateness. The school also has a parent notification system and can formulate any kind of correspondence: school timetables, information on excursions, dining room menus or any other kind of information it may wish to send to parents in confidence.
Learning solutions
Access to information and quality content, resource banks, interactive exercises and options for collaboration between students and teachers are the resources offered by GIC to improve learning processes.
Resources:
- Contents for consultation: encyclopaedias, maps, dictionaries.
- Curricular and non-curricular academic content.
-
Materials for working on transversal axes.
- Media Bank and web-library.
-
Bank of questions and problems.
- Self-correcting questionnaires that help to evaluate very specific aspects of the learning process.
Groups: this tool allows the training and administration of groups of people involved in a collective piece of work, participating in the same activity or collaborating on the same project. These groups may be made up of students, teachers or parents. In this way, with GIC the school can accommodate a parents' school, a place for working with diversity, a meeting place for students, a place for sharing study material... or any other idea that the imagination may come up with.
Prior identification before accessing the tool guarantees that the information, work, resources or communications that each individual sees are related to their profile (teacher, parent or student) and their educational stage.
Training and back-up solutions
Incorporating GIC in the school includes a training and back-up service, both online and in person, to ensure the optimum implementation of all the services and to respond to any queries or incidents that may crop up while using GIC.
Technological solutions
