Gone Google

Nespelem School District is going Google...

In 2009, our school district needed to cut the budget; we were paying a lot of money for a clunky website and email. It was not easy to modify and personalize, yet the cost was high.

After research, we discovered Google Apps for Education (GAFE). I began using Google with my students, and we began a transition to Google Apps. Our students enjoy the collaboration and access -- anywhere a computer is connected, students have access to their work.

The Technology Committee conducts its meetings online through Google Docs editing and and discussion.

To ease transition for staff, I developed a course, website, and assistance to introduce staff to Mail. Calendar, and Blogs.

Links to our journey are at right, created by me to bring us into the GAFE world.
