"Does your organization own multiple domain names where you do business? Perhaps you acquired a new company or started doing business under a new name. Google, for example, owns the domains google.com, adwords.com, youtube.com, and more. If you own multiple domains, you can add them all to your Google account at no extra cost. Users can then have an identity at one or more of your domains. They can share Google services as part of one organization. And you can manage all your users and domains domains from the same Admin console.

" Instead, it’s time that we look at apps to find those that help us gain a better look into student thinking and understanding. I have created a list of my favorite apps that purposefully achieve this goal.

"The ‘AppsEvents Certified Admin’ (ACA) is an entry level certification and focused on getting educators with basic or no admin experience to ‘level up’ and be able to administer a live Google Apps Domain. It’s equally focused on teaching and non teaching staff and one of the reasons we started the program was to help with the democratization of IT admin and helping more teachers to get involved."

"Google arguably reinvented email when it launched Gmail 10 years ago, but the company's never been one to stick with the status quo or shy away from a challenge. With its brand new multiplatform app called Inbox, Google is hoping -- oh, yes -- that it can reinvent email once again."

"m predicting that Google will end Gmail within the next five years. The company hasn't announced such a move -- nor would it.

But whether we like it or not, and whether even Google knows it or not, Gmail is doomed. "

"Draftback is a Chrome extension that lets you play back any Google Doc’s revision history (for docs you can edit). It’s like going back in time to look over your own shoulder as you write.

" We've covered plenty of great Chrome tricks over the years, but the address bar has always been a bit neglected. You can actually do a ton with it though, so let's dig into some of the better tricks."

" One amazing feature of Google Drive is the ability to work offline. This comes in handy when you are traveling. It is also a great tool for students and teachers with limited or no Internet access at home. "

"Teachers will be introduced to Google Apps for Education as a resource to enhance collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity with students, colleagues and their school community.

Each module can be completed individually. Staff will demonstrate completion of each module through a Google Form. "
