Welcome Back!
To get you started on our Google Apps For Education (GAFE) journey, I’m planning on sending out a Tech Tuesday email each week on different cool things in GAFE! I’ll start out with the basics but quickly move into the wonderful tools GAFE has to offer. Please make sure to use Chrome for your browser when working in your account. This browser works best for all things Google!
If you ever have questions, please ask the librarian at your building level. These people have been using Google for a while now. You can also email me at kpowell@gunnisonschools.net. Please remember that we are ALL learning this new tool and there will be some glitches from time to time. Please don’t email tech services with GAFE questions.
First, I have a quick video on logging in to your account. Click this link for the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7V4VwDewIw. I’m guessing you’ll have some PD at the building level on many of these steps, but I’ll also archive all the videos and Tech Tuesday announcements on a website I am devoting to GAFE. Here is the web address where you can find all these archived emails: bit.ly/GunnisonGAFE.
Lastly, GAFE actually has a training center. There is a lot of GREAT information here! Watch this video on how to add this extension to Chrome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvwASSjg-a4
