Datblygwyd y feddalwedd newydd yn dilyn adborth gan ysgolion, a bydd ar gael drwy Hwb \- y llwyfan dysgu digidol ar gyfer Cymru sy'n darparu amrywiaeth o gyfarpar ac adnoddau digidol dwyieithog a ariennir yn ganolog.  

 Mae'r ystadegau diweddaraf ar gyfer Hydref 2017 yn dangos y mewngofnodwyd 736,813 o weithiau yn ystod y mis \- cynnydd o 55% o gymharu â Hydref 2016\. Mae hyn yn cyfateb i fwy na 23,000 o weithiau bob dydd ar gyfartaledd.

 Yn ogystal â chyhoeddi'r cynlluniau i gyflwyno Google for Education, rhoddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ddiweddariad ar agweddau eraill o'r rhaglen Dysgu yn y Gymru Ddigidol. 

 Roedd hyn yn cynnwys y cynnydd o ran buddsoddi ym mand eang ysgolion \- ymrwymiad yn Symud Cymru Ymlaen i ddarparu band eang cyflym iawn i bob ysgol yng Nghymru. 

 Bydd hyn yn darparu cysylltiadau ffeibr ar gyfer 343 o ysgolion ledled Cymru drwy rwydwaith Prosiect Cydgasglu Band Eang y Sector Cyhoeddus. Bydd yn sicrhau bod amrywiaeth o gyfarpar ac adnoddau ar gael i ysgolion drwy Hwb, yn ogystal â chefnogi'r cwricwlwm newydd.  

 Cyhoeddodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet heddiw fod dros draean o'r ysgolion a dargedwyd bellach wedi cael cysylltiadau cyflymach.

 Yn ogystal, bydd canllawiau'n cael eu cyhoeddi'n fuan i helpu ysgolion i ddeall sut all trafferthion gyda'r rhwydwaith lleol effeithio ar eu gallu i gysylltu â'r rhyngrwyd, a sut y gallant wneud y defnydd gorau o'r buddsoddiad o raglen Dysgu yn y Gymru Ddigidol.

 Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:

 
> "Rwyf eisiau i'n hathrawon allu defnyddio'r cyfarpar a'r adnoddau digidol gorau a'r ddarpariaeth orau o fand eang cyflym iawn.
> 
>  "Rydym wedi gwrando ar yr adborth sydd wedi dod i law gan ysgolion ac rwy'n falch iawn y byddwn yn cyflwyno Google for Education yn 2018 o ganlyniad i'r adborth hwn. 
> 
>  "Bydd hyn yn darparu ystod ehangach o lawer o gyfarpar ac adnoddau digidol i'n hathrawon ac yn arwain at fwy o gydweithio a chyfathrebu yn y dosbarth."

 O ganlyniad i'r adborth parhaus, ni fydd Llywodraeth Cymru'n adnewyddu llwyfan rhith\-ddysgu Hwb\+ pan fydd y contract presennol yn dod i ben ym mis Awst 2018\.

 Byddwn yn cysylltu ag ysgolion, awdurdodau lleol a'r consortia addysg rhanbarthol i sicrhau eu bod yn barod i fanteisio ar y cyfarpar digidol newydd ac yn gallu trosglwyddo o lwyfan Hwb\+ y flwyddyn nesaf.

 Dywedodd Liz Sproat o Google for Education:

 
> "Rydym yn llongyfarch Llywodraeth Cymru am eu hymrwymiad i ddarparu'r addysg orau bosibl i ddysgwyr ar draws Cymru. Rydym yn falch iawn y bydd adnoddau addysg Google ar gael i ysgolion drwy lwyfan Hwb ac edrychwn ymlaen at eu cefnogi ar eu taith â ni."

The new software is a direct result of feedback from schools and will be made available through Hwb \- the digital learning platform for Wales which provides a range of centrally\-funded, bilingual digital tools and resources.  

 Latest statistics for October 2017 show that there were a total of 736,813 log\-ins to Hwb during the month \- a 55% increase over October 2016 \- which equates to an average of over 23,000 log\-ins every day.

 As well as announcing plans for the roll\-out of Google for Education, the Cabinet Secretary also provided an update on other areas of the Learning in Digital Wales (LiDW) programme.

 This included progress on investing in School Broadband – a Taking Wales Forward commitment to provide superfast broadband to all schools in Wales. 

 This will provide fibre connections for 343 schools across Wales via the PSBA network and will ensure schools are able to access the range of tools and resources available via Hwb, as well as supporting the new curriculum.  

 Today the Cabinet Secretary announced that to date, over a third of targeted schools have been upgraded to faster speeds.

 Guidance will also be published shortly to help schools understand how local area network issues can affect their internet connectivity and how they can make the best use of investment from the LiDW programme.

 Kirsty Williams said:

 
> "We want our teachers to have access to the best digital tools and resources and the best quality superfast broadband.
> 
>  "We have listened to the feedback we’ve been receiving from schools and I’m very pleased that, as a result of their feedback, we will be rolling out Google for Education in 2018\. 
> 
>  "This will give our teachers a much wider range of digital tools and resources and will lead to greater collaboration and communication within the classroom."

 As a result of ongoing feedback, the Welsh Government will also not be renewing the Hwb\+ virtual learning platform once the current contract expires in August 2018\.

 Schools, local authorities and regional education consortia will be contacted to ensure they are ready to take advantage of the new digital tools and can make the transition from the Hwb\+ platform next year.

 Liz Sproat from Google for Education said:

 
> "We congratulate the Welsh Government for their commitment to provide the very best education to learners across Wales. We’re delighted that Google’s education tools will be made available to schools via the Hwb platform and look forward to supporting them on their journey with us."
