Within the framework of the Albus research project jointly implemented by Google for Education’s official partner iCORE Mongolia, the Ministry of Education, and the General Authority for Education, the research team from the Mongolian National Institute for Educational Research conducted a pilot-study over a period of 3.5 months starting from November 2024 at the secondary school affiliated with the Mongolian National University of Education (MNUE). This study aimed to examine the impact of using Google’s educational tools on teaching and learning processes. To address this objective, a mixed-methods approach was used to examine one pilot group and one control group of 7th-grade students from a selected school. Data on implementation and outcomes were collected and analyzed, providign the foundation for the study’s conclusions and recommendations. According to the pilot study results, students’ use of mobile phones during lessons decreased from 88.6% to 42.9% in the post-survey stage, while their participation in lessons using Chromebooks increased. Also, with the help of Google tools, students became more interested in their lessons, gained more self-confidence, and felt freer to express their own ideas. 71.4% of teachers agreed that using Chromebooks and Google tools supported students in working in teams, and 64.3% of students reported that it helped their communication with classmates. At the beginning of the pilot, about 40% of teachers used digital devices and software 3–4 times a week in classroom teaching, but in the post-survey stage, 92.8% of them used Chromebooks and Google tools during some or all lessons. In addition, teachers’ digital skills improved, and students showed progress in their STEAM skills, information searching using search engines, and problem-solving skills.
