The  College Bom Jesus Heart of Jesus , in Florianópolis (SC), is now recognized as a Google Reference School for Education. With this achievement, the unit becomes part of the global group of educational institutions that use active and modern methodologies, with educational technologies such as Google Workspace for Education and Chromebooks, to provide excellent teaching, more interactive and collaborative.

For recognition, 23 teachers and  trainees  were certified. The manager of the College, Raphael Branco, says that the search for technological transformation is intrinsic to Grupo Educacional Bom Jesus units, and that teacher training and student preparation were already part of the routine, even before the pandemic surprised everyone. . An example of this is the Innovation Space, which was structured at the end of 2019 (the Space is a room whose environment is similar to Google’s facilities: its furniture and IT equipment encourage interaction between occupants and facilitate learning).

With the tools and technological knowledge in hand, the role of students and teachers is redefined: students are the protagonists of this exchange of knowledge and teachers become provocative guides, a process that Google recognizes as an “intuitive study”. All this proposal makes the College’s classrooms more dynamic, interesting and creative, with education 4.0, becoming differentiated spaces for teaching and learning. The year 2020 was marked by the importance of this structure and by the constant improvement in technological levels. Technologies ensure greater mobility, independence and interactivity between teacher and student.

Raphael believes that being recognized as a Google for Education Reference School brings a huge gain to Colégio Bom Jesus Coração de Jesus. “We gained in teaching quality, as there is more interactivity and proximity between the student and the teacher, and between the student and the school as a whole”, comments the unit manager. Another example of technological revolution at the College is the fact that teachers are always encouraged to learn more about the new tools, since students are already more used to them.

In the entire Grupo Educacional Bom Jesus, which has 36 schools in five Brazilian states, five units are already recognized by Google for Education. In Santa Catarina, the units  Colégio Bom Jesus Itajaí,  Bom Jesus Pedra Branca, in Palhoça, and  Bom Jesus Santo Antônio, in Blumenau, are already recognized as Google Reference Schools for Education. In Florianópolis, Bom Jesus Coração de Jesus  received the most recent recognition. In Paraná, Colégio Bom Jesus Lourdes is the Group’s certified school in the state.
