WelcomeA little about BSD and Google ClassroomThe Berkley School District recently acquired a Google Apps for Education Account. Ms. Stein’s class will be utilizing Google Apps. Google Apps gives students and teachers a range of online tools to enrich communication, content creation, and collaboration. Using these tools, students will collaboratively create, edit, and share files for school related projects. In addition to the obvious benefits of collaboration, students will have an opportunity to learn more about technology.
Students in this program will have access to Google Docs, including Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Forms and Drawings. Google Calendar may be introduced later. These applications are different from public Google applications in that they are managed by the district, do not include any advertising, and have more strict filtering and content controls. Share Google Apps with your child. The best thing about Google Apps is how easy it is to share access to files. Parents are encouraged to explore Google Apps with their children by logging in together. Only students and parents with access will be able to collaborate on this site. Internet safety education will be included as part of introducing new web based tools. In school, teacher supervision and school content filters are used to prevent access to inappropriate content and to ensure that student use of digital tools follows the Berkley School District Acceptable Use Policy. Student accounts can be accessed by domain administrators at any time. Google Apps is a place for students to safely keep the documents they use to collaborate as it relates to this program. It is not to be used for personal storage. |
