Introducing: Partner Spotlight 🎙️
At Gear Education, we know that tools are only as good as the people who build them. That’s why we’re launching our new Partner Spotlight series—a deep dive into the stories, values, and people behind the technology we bring to your classrooms.
We are kicking things off with Joshua Maddocks, the founder of Skriva. Josh didn't just build a stylus; he built a solution for the "missing link" in digital learning. By focusing on durability and a sense of student ownership, Skriva is helping schools ensure that technology stays in students' hands—literally.

Our Gear Collective series continues, where we share the stories behind the digital transformation journeys of our partners.
It is a distinct honor to feature @lumio.school in our second story. To build a school from the ground up requires more than a checklist; it requires the vision to get the foundations right before the first student ever enters the classroom.
True transformation requires planning and the patience to see a long-term vision through. Lumio embraced this, leaning on our expertise to ensure their Google for Education ecosystem was built for longevity. Because they focused on the "how" and the "why" first, they were able to hit historic milestones within their very first year—including the region's first 1-to-1 Chromebook program and a nomination for the Google for Education Reference Program.
We are incredibly proud of this collaboration and are thrilled to share how we are working together to set a new standard for education in the region, "A Vision Before the First Bell."

What better way to launch our strategic partnership with Faria Education Group—the powerhouse behind ManageBac and OpenApply—than with their recent team visit to Cyprus and the successful onboarding of our first school together?
It’s been an incredible few weeks of collaboration, onsite strategy, and seeing the immediate impact of Faria’s integrated systems on the local educational landscape. By combining our regional expertise with Faria's global platforms, we are already helping schools across Cyprus, Greece, and Malta streamline their operations and enhance the learning experience.
And, we are just getting started! 🤝✨

It’s been 90 days since #BettUK 2026, and we’re still thinking about these four major shifts in the EdTech landscape. 🔎
Swipe through for a recap of our top insights from London—from the rise of "Ecosystems" to the shift from "Installation" to "Implementation."
The biggest lesson? Tools create the possibility, but support ensures the outcome. 💡
Which slide resonates most with your current 2026 goals?
We’ve been busy bringing the “2026 Lift” to our schools! 🚀
Since the Google for Education Global Partner Forum in January, we’ve been channeling that energy into one thing: Implementation.
✅ Supporting our long-term school partners with advanced Gemini workflows.
✅ Onboarding amazing new schools into the Google for Education family.
✅ Turning the tech we saw in London into real-world classroom wins.
January was about the vision. March is about the momentum.
Watch this space—we’re just getting started! 💡
Our recent collaboration with @xenion_education is the perfect example of our work training educators on AI 🚀
From onboarding to training, we partner with educational institutions to provide a complete AI framework that includes privacy first, full control, and universal access.
Feedback from our recent training on AI in Education with C' Technical School #Limassol showed a strong desire from public school teachers to use AI—they just need the guidance to do it safely & effectively.
Participants had the chance to demo Google's purpose-built AI tools Gemini and NotebookLM and are now asking for full access to continue what they’ve started.
Big news for schools and universities across Cyprus, Greece, and Malta! 🚀
