Welcome to the world of Google!
Google Tools:
Google tools are what we call all the applications (apps) that Google has created. The most popular tools are called Google Docs, You Tube, Picasa, Google Earth, and Blogger, but there are many more to check out!
These tools/applications are of high interest to educators because they are exciting for students to use, are a great way to incorporate technology into your classroom, and best of all, are free!
Getting Started:
Before you get started you need to know that everyone that uses Google Apps needs an account with Google. Here at school, teachers should make their own school account.
Students already have one set up for them starting in Kindergarten.
Student usernames are their first initial, middle initial, last name. @mosineeschools.org
Student passwords are MSD 5-digit id or M 5-digit id
When using Google in a computer lab setting, it is important for students and staff to log out of Google when done using the computer. Otherwise others can access your email and documents.
Sarah, Thanks for initiating our very own Google/tech blog.
ReplyDeleteSarah,
ReplyDeleteIn the directions some students have a PW using MSD or M as a prefix. More clarity is needed. Which student use MSD and which students use M?
