Google Apps for Education 

For All
We are in the process of setting up Google Apps for Education at District 155 for students and faculty. This new system, powered by Google, will provide Gmail to our students and faculty, as well as a suite of other Google products including Google Calendar and Google Drive that will enable us to better communicate, share, and collaborate. We will be joining over 16 million other students and teachers that are already using Google Apps at schools around the world.
 

What are the benefits of Google Apps and what’s included?
 

• Anytime, anywhere access - Google Apps works in any browser on any computer, which means you can access your email, calendars, and documents from school or at home.
• No flash drives required with documents and files stored in Google Drive
• Students can easily collaborate with students from other classes, buildings, schools, districts or even different countries, working together on group projects.
• Teachers can be involved throughout the whole assignment process providing comments and feedback directly in the documents.
• Students can develop an e-portfolio of work throughout their years at the school.

For Teachers
 How do I...

...share a document with my students?

...create a group of people to share things more easily?

...make sure that the documents I share can only be read, not modified?

...find a document that a colleague has shared with me?

...collaborate on a document or presentation with someone online?
