All faculty and students have access to Spartanburg 2 Google Apps for Education accounts, which includes the Classroom feature.

Students have access G Suite (formerly Google Apps for Education) accounts with a few restrictions, including no G-mail. (Student e-mail is provided through Outlook in Office 365)

SIGN IN TO GOOGLE APPS:

1. Go to Google.com
2. Click the blue "Sign In" button on the top right of the screen.
3. Sign in with a district email address and password.

PREPARATION:

Before teachers start using their G Suite Google Apps for Education account, they must go through the process of doing a password change, but DO NOT NEED to choose a different password. You only have do this step one time. To do that process, watch the video or follow the instructions below.

(For information on handling previously created accounts with your Spartanburg 2 address, see this video.)

Now you will have access to the following services, among many others:

• Google Classroom (Video overview)
• Google Drive, including Docs, Forms, Sites, Sheets, and Slides

Remember that you will not have Gmail.

If you had the option to use a nickname rather than your official first name in your email address, your Google account may not work.

Try signing in with your actual first name. Example:

William Smith has the email address bill.smith@spart2.org

The email address does not work in Google Apps after doing the password change outlined above.

Try william.smith@spart2.org
