Google Apps

Welcome to Google Apps for Education!

For both you and your students, you want to make sure you are using the internet browser Google Chrome when working with any Google Apps sites.

Teacher Accounts:

To access your Google account either go directly to the Frisco ISD Home Page and choose the STAFF tab.

You will sign in with your FISD username and password.

Student Accounts:

Returning students should already have their Google Apps accounts. Your facilitator has a list of all student Google accounts if you need them. They following this pattern and can often be determined without accessing the list.

  • Login: firstname.lastname.###@k12.friscoisd.org (### is the last 3 digits of their ID)

  • Password: MMDDYYYY (student birthday)

  • Students do have the ability to change their password through their Google login (not recommended).

Through Google, students will have access to Google Documents (Docs, Spreadsheets, Presentation, and Forms), Gmail, Sites, and Calendar.

Everything in Google is SHARABLE, EDITABLE, and ACCESSIBLE anywhere through the internet. What this means to use as a teachers is that you can now have students create documents/projects and they can share them with a group. The teacher can create a document and share it with a class. All students can work on the project at the same time.

Your campus digital learning coach will provide training for both teachers and students.

Your facilitator can also provide you a spreadsheet with your student and staff Google accounts that can be uploaded into your contacts for each sharing.
