NEW for 2017-18:
Google Hangouts for Students No Longer Available
Due to recent incidents with students accessing inappropriate video chat within Google Hangouts, the PPS Google Apps Advisory Group has recommended that Google Hangouts be turned off for all students. Google Hangouts is videoconferencing software that allows for collaboration, communication and sharing. In Hangouts, we are unable to save video or chat transcripts and sessions cannot be deleted, so there is concern that students could access videoconferencing without adult supervision. Hangouts will continue to be available for all district staff. This change is planned to go into effect at the start of the 2017-18 school year. See full message here.
G Suite Training
This is a Chrome extension that offers simple and interactive training lessons to get you up and running fast with G Suite. Training is accessible directly within G Suite, so you don’t need to leave the application to learn how to use it. This extension is free and will be pushed out to all district users at the start of the 2017-18 school year. See more information and help.
Sync Google Classroom with Synergy
Did you know that you can sync Google Classroom with Synergy? Your building scheduler can check the "Google Classroom section" box to create a Google Classroom for any of the classes/sections you teach with the students already populated.
