Hi everyone, I’m David Manaia, based in New York, United States. I’m passionate about how Google for Education tools—like Classroom, Workspace for Education, and AI-powered tools—can transform learning, making it more engaging, collaborative, and personalized for students. I’m exploring ways to integrate technology thoughtfully while supporting educators in navigating AI responsibly in schools.

Excited to connect, share ideas, and learn from fellow education leaders here.

Welcome David (from a fellow David).

What type of school do you work at - public/private, grades, etc.?

Hi @chand,

Thank you for the warm welcome — and it’s great to meet another David here!

I’m currently exploring and engaging with the community from an individual perspective rather than representing a specific school. My main interest is learning more about administration, tools, and best practices within the Google for Education ecosystem.

I’m looking forward to connecting, learning from others in the community, and contributing where I can.

Best regards,
David
