Connecting and Collaborating with Google Applications: Original Session

Submitted by admin on Tue, 12/23/2008 - 8:16am.

Description: Mecklenburg County Public Schools has implemented the education edition of Google Applications to replace several key instructional and administrative tools. This free online application suite provides free 24-7 e-mail services; online document storage; and an online word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation application. The school system has saved more than $123,000 in operating expenses during the initial year of implementation and estimates a total savings of $200,000 over a five-year period. Presenters explain how Google Docs can create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations online; share and collaborate in real time; and safely store and organize work. All participants will receive access to an online Google Docs user’s manual that outlines the basic features of the program.

 
Presenters: Remona Tomko, Technology Resource Teacher
                      Sheila Beck, Google Applications Specialist
 
We presented to 38 participants on Wednesday, December 10. The room was full and people were turned away. Due to high demand, the conference officials asked us to present again on Thursday, December 11 in a larger room. 54 people attended the second session. The sessions highlighted the Google Applications implementation for staff and also focused on the student pilot program with Park View High School and a school in Oregon. The session allowed us to connect with many schools that were interested in implementing this initiative. We also made contacts with several school divisions that were interested in participating in future student collaborative projects.
