[CASL-L] Google Apps for Education

[Crean, Sue]

Hi Erin,
We have had Google Apps for Education. It  is great for collaboration and
for staff to give feedback to students on their work. I can't emphasize
enough that the teachers need to be trained ahead of time to feel confident
and excited about using it with their students. There are terrific tools
out their for them, for instance, creating templates and having students
make a copy, using Google Forms, creating class presentations. However,
it's likely new learning for some, and if they don't embrace it you won't
have the best experience.
Good luck,
Sue Crean
