Google Apps for Education
By Tate Haglund-Pagel
The Superior School District is moving to full adoption of Google Apps for Education
Many great opportunities to learn are opened up with the use of computers and the internet. Over the last 2 years the school district has explored the best options for giving students the access they need to digital tools. To this end, the Superior School District has moved staff to Google Apps for Education (GAFE) and has created accounts for students to enhance the way we use technology and share information within our school community.
Google was chosen as a platform for several reasons. Having an account with Google opens many useful tools. Many staff and students already have personal Gmail accounts, so teaching them to use their GAFE accounts will be easy. GAFE is free, and because Wisconsin is a Google Apps for Education State, there are frequent training opportunities for teachers to become even better at integrating technology.
