Google Apps for Ed

Pine-Richland School District launched Google Apps for Education in the Spring of 2016 as part of a a long-term goal of the 2016-2019 Strategic Plan  to integrate technology tools into courses and activities to extend or improve the teaching and learning process.  

Google Apps for Education provides our students and teachers with a platform to communicate and collaborate in a safe, online environment using word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet tools.  Pine-Richland’s Google account is a closed domain limiting the interaction to PRSD students, employees, and approved educational partners.  Through this initiative, students will engage in activities designed to help them discover the opportunities and responsibilities that coincide with online learning.  The school district has developed a list of Frequently Asked Questions for our parents and community to reference including an option for families to opt out.  The purchasing of individual computers or other devices was not necessary.

Pine-Richland School District’s Google Apps accounts are only to be used for school-related tasks. 
 

Students will be able to log in to their Pine-Richland Google account from any computer with internet access via the website google.com.  Each child will receive a unique username and password to gain access to his/her files and resources.  Only Google products that have academic value have been activated for your child’s use.  Additional information specific to Google Apps for Education can be viewed at https://www.google.com/edu/.

Pine-Richland School District is committed to integrating current educational technology and assisting you in preparing your child for post-high school experiences. Granting students access to Google Apps for Education aligns with this commitment, and encourages students to think critically and collaborate in a safe, online learning environment.
