EP Apps – TFES IV
~powered by Google. Tools for Every School Part 4
We are doing it. Seems like everyone else on the block has, or is making the move.
Starting with students, and the optional document usage and storage for staff. I do believe this is a game changer, field leveler for kids. If everyone has access to the same software from whatever web connected computer – isn’t that better than 5 different versions of different word processing software?
I do think that to make it work you need to start with staff, using things that they already do professionally.
Meeting notes – have a couple people taking notes at those dept meetings, then make them viewable by the whole staff, great place to teach how / when to Insert – Comment
Agendas – why shouldn’t everyone have the ability to add to the agenda before the meeting starts?
Shared Docs – helps people start controlling who sees what, and who can edit
The great thing about Google Apps, you can use it, without waiting for your district to get the cloud set up. Make the change for your students, now, share the success and get the change for everyone later!
