I love Google. People get all bitter because Google is so successful and, well, HUGE. I’m not bitter. Especially since I really want my district to take advantage of Google Apps for Education. I’ve been wanting this for a while now, but wasn’t sure how to go about starting this movement. I use Google Docs (particularly the forms feature) for everything. Recently, my teachers started using Google Docs for it’s collaborative features and they love it too! SCORE!<\/p>\n
So this week, some things went down, we got our feathers ruffled, and I was able to pool some teachers together to get something started to try for change. After a meeting and some valuable conversations, there is a group of us that are hoping for the opportunity to get access to Google Apps for our teachers\u00c2\u00a0and students<\/em>. How great would that be?!<\/p>\n This is all still in the very early stages. I am hopeful that we will be able to help our district move forward so that we can prepare our students in ways that they deserve. I work with unbelievable teachers — they could teach effectively with zero resources. However, they deserve the opportunity to teach in completely innovative ways, and I want to help them get there.<\/p>\n So this post is sort of vague and hopeful, but I felt like I should document where things stand right now.<\/p>\n Also, if you have resources that you think would be helpful (pros\/cons to using Google Apps for Education OR anything that could provide a similar alternative), I would be extremely appreciative!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love Google.
