Abstract. This article delves into the paradigm of successful and innovative education through the lens of technology adoption in Bulgarian schools, specifically exemplified by the “P.R. Slaveykov” Primary School in Veliko Tarnovo. In response to the evolving needs of modern learners and the dynamic challenges faced by educators, this study investigates the integration of G Suite for Education – an ensemble of Google applications – into pedagogical practices. Positioned as an “innovative school for successful and happy children,” the model’s practical orientation transforms learning through technology-enabled innovations. This study chronicles the positive outcomes of this approach, including accelerated understanding of innovations, heightened student interest in learning activities, and an amplified teacher motivation.
