Protecting Privacy when using G Suite
The purpose of the G Suite tools are for “educational use” and to better meet the needs of learning in a digital age. Therefore, any and all steps must be taken to eliminate sensitive and personally identifiable information stored within the G Suite system. Staff and students who are using the G Suite platform need to familiarize themselves with the uses and types of information that are both acceptable and unacceptable and gain parent consent to these uses prior to using the platform.

Managing the Devices in the Classroom
Managing the Devices in the Classroom
G Suite can be used on any device that has access to the Internet, including desktop computers, laptops, Chromebooks, Tablets and smart phones. Managing all these devices in a classroom can be a major challenge. Chromebooks can be easier to manage as they are quicker to start up and have a longer battery life than laptops.
Chromebooks are different than laptops and it is worthwhile learning and using some of the trackpad tricks and shortcut keys that are specific to Chromebooks. For a poster showing these differences click here.
